Pangea Dental from EBM
EBM Technologies announces that a United States Dental School ranked by EduERS.com as one of the top 10 in the nation, has accepted EBM’s Pangea Dental as their PACS imaging provider. This University SOD includes educational, clinical, and research programs will utilize standard as well as sophisticated Imaging studies (such as CBCT) to assess patient dental health. The implementation of a DICOM solution via EBM’s Pangea Dental contributes to these education and research efforts.
EBM’s Pangea Dental is a complete scalable solution conforming to DICOM 3.0 standards and involves a PACS Server, a Web-based browser (UniWeb), and Unigate software package to convert phosphor image plates to DICOM. In addition to the above requirements sought by the University SOD, Pangea Dental also provides digital radiology reporting, CD/DVD burning, digital photo management, and teleradiology. It supplies a feature-rich environment that has customized hanging protocols that can place an entire image collection (e.g. full mouth series) into a selected template with just two clicks, multiple monitor support to enhance diagnostic capability, and robust viewing tools that permit sophisticated analysis.
Installing Pangea Dental allows the University to expand its ability to conduct clinical research in diagnostics and treatment outcomes and expand research in image and structural analysis. Communication with other medical facilities, clinics, and institutions will be also be facilitated.
Clinicians will benefit from the EBM solution by having faster access to images. Images will be available for viewing nearly simultaneously . This eliminates the delay associated with finding and placing jackets with images on the view boxes. With EBM’s tailor-made solution, image loss (film loss) cannot occur. There is much greater flexibility in displaying a broad range of images, including CBCT sectional studies.
The Dental School is able to save on film and film mounting costs, film and file supplies, duplication costs, and processor maintenance and chemistry costs. The school can eliminate its darkrooms and valuable floor space will be freed up with the elimination of x-ray storage.
In conclusion, EBM’s Pangea Dental will help the University to improve dental care by way of its DICOM PACS solution.
