Digitizers also contribute to improving the quality and agility of the service and facilitate the daily life of doctors and the waiting of patients
Camagüey, Cuba, June 8th.- The installation here of 16 digitizers for X-ray equipment, a process carried out by specialists from the Provincial Center of Electromedicine, from its preparation to its start-up, will have a favorable impact on saving resources and supplies.
According to specialists, the new devices facilitate the digital use of this diagnostic route, and eliminate the analog version, with more infrastructural difficulties and which, in addition, involve the use of chemicals for development, as well as the plates themselves.
According to Rafael Alberto Ramírez Garzón, one of the protagonists of the necessary change, the digitizers use as a base the existing equipment in Health centers, to which a device is connected that captures the analog signal and converts it into digital, which , through a Wi-Fi network, transmits the signal to a monitor where specialists can consult the images.
“This makes it possible to enable many equipment that does not work today due to the lack of conventional plates in polyclinics and hospitals.”
Digitizers also contribute to improving the quality and agility of the service, and make the daily lives of doctors and the waiting of patients easier, in addition to saving the country money on a service that is extremely expensive, even for developed countries.
