Constraints

SVYMH have an old X-Ray machine which is not DICOM enabled and with their existing radiology staff found it difficult to cater to the X-ray scans of patients.

Their founder Dr.R.Balasubramaniam approached us for a solution as we had the expertise to provide remoter reads quickly and efficiently.

Our talented pool of radiologists also ensured that even a complicated or difficult case would get an expert opinion , if required even from an American Board Certified radiologist.

We sent our IT expert to their site to study , analyze and configure their X-ray machine to a digital scanner. The plain films were then scanned using the scanner and the scanned image sent to us at Bangalore through internet.

They have greatly appreciated our efforts and in our humble but technological advanced way , we are providing Free read of their X-rays.
