ShowCase Image Management for Small Clinics

ShowCase is good for clinics and labs looking for a simple inexpensive digital image management solution.

ShowCase can manage medical images for smaller clinics and ultrasound labs who do not need a complex and expensive PACS or for larger sites needing an interim digital solution while they are waiting to move to a PACS.

The typical product configuration at such a site is at least one high end computer that runs ShowCase with the Connect option (either ShowCase Premier or ShowCase Basic) and serves as the image repository . This machine receives studies sent over a DICOM network from ultrasound machines. ShowCase Connect stores the images to a designated location on a local disk drive.  

ShowCase Premier or ShowCase Basic installed on other PCs on the office network can display the images in this folder over the network, allowing physicians in other offices access to the images.

Since ShowCase is a low cost product without a central database for archive tracking, sites using ShowCase for image management should develop a sound image management workflow that includes an appropriate archive policy.

Need digital reporting as well? To meet those needs, ShowCase now integrates with the EncaptureMD web based reporting system by Flexible Informatics, LLC. To learn more about how the ShowCase / EncaptureMD solution might fit your needs, please go to the EncaptureMD web site.
