The virtual radiology network (VRN) is a modern service for radiology groups that collects digital imaging studies from multiple, geographically dispersed locations and delivers them securely, reliably and efficiently to physicians over the Web. The virtual radiology network enables radiology groups to perform remote reading across geographic boundaries with greater control over report turnaround times and distribution to clients and referring doctors.
The virtual radiology network can help radiologists manage image-related workflow across distributed sites, providing productivity-enhancing tools and capabilities that include universal work lists, automatic routing, workload balancing and management control dashboards.
The virtual radiology network is delivered as an outsourced clinical image management service that can increase the productivity of multi-site groups, helping them achieve growth without the pain, cost and risk typically associated with traditional PACS solutions.
Famous quotes containing the words virtual and/or network:
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
