The business of Digital Radiography

The move is inevitable

Whether this year, next year, or five years from now, the filmbased X-rays accounting for 50% to 70% of your department’s current imaging load will be digital.

 

As a manager, are you ready for the transition? Are you prepared for the institutional impact the move to digital brings?  This is a critical process and understanding the various implications is not easy – there are many misconceptions.


We can help increase your chances for a successful transition, with informative tools and programs that address the real issues involved. While others may focus solely on the benefits of an improved image, we give you the full, unbiased story of what to expect.


Learn from experience


Digital Radiography – An Administrators Guide is a new 44-page publication from Philips that presents a comprehensive yet practical roadmap for going digital. Co-authored by a top radiology administrator with contributions from several other healthcare providers – all who have successfully introduced digital radiography into their own organizations – this publication presents ‘best practice’ strategies from colleagues who have faced the same issues as you.

 

“From a person who values process, this guide is excellent. Without looking at strategic planning when considering DR, you are lost.”  –Feedback from radiology administrator in recent focus group session
