Podiatry Practices Can Improve Patient Communication Through the Use of DR and Digital X-Rays

People visit a physician when they have unexplained aches and pains, and this is certainly true when their feet hurt.
Because they are not sure why they are experiencing the pain, they are looking to you for explanations and guidance for how to make the problem area feel better.
Podiatrists, like all physicians, spend a great deal of time communicating with patients, helping them to understand complex medical issues.
In many cases, a picture can explain easily what technical medical jargon cannot, and if you can share a podiatry x-ray with a patient, many times clarity will ensue.
It is for this reason that podiatrists need reliable and quick podiatry DR and CR digital medical imaging systems.
Digital podiatry x-ray systems help to improve your clinic's workflow while providing better patient care.
This is accomplished in several different ways.
Compared to film x-rays, digital imaging will allow you to eliminate the costs for consumables used in film imaging, including the film as well as hazardous chemicals used for film developing.
Digital x-ray will also allow you to better use your office space, because you will not need room for film developing or hard copy film storage.
The speed that comes with digital imaging is far superior to that of film.
Your digital images will be ready for viewing in a matter of seconds, improving your practice workflow.
You can use the digital tools available on a clinical workstation, which will allow you to enhance the digital images' contrast, brightness and resolution, and it takes accurate measurements quickly in a digital format.
After this, you can share the digital x-ray with your patient, and you will be able to see in seconds whether you need to do any retakes.
This allows you to accomplish more in a single patient visit, while at the same time making the entire experience more convenient for your patients as well.
This kind of speed is completely unobtainable with film x-rays.
You can also provide fast and improved patient care with digital images because they can be sent in seconds over the Internet to consulting physicians anywhere in the world, and can be archived automatically for disaster recovery.
Your patients will appreciate the improved communications that come from using digital podiatry DR and CR imaging systems, as well as improved accuracy in diagnoses and a more convenient visit for them overall.
