Easy, seamless and turnkey, Radiology’s TAP solution can instantly improve the operations of your imaging site. Radiology provides state-of-the-art offsite storage for your hard copy files in our expansive and secure TAP operations center, and all files are carefully indexed with complete DICOM demographics in an electronic database. You can easily submit study requests to the database from any PC through an easy-to-use, ultra-fast TAP Internet portal. We will scan only as needed to keep costs in check, and within minutes we deliver them directly into your PACS over a secure VPN. From there, you can communicate your lossless DICOM images over the hospital network, across the enterprise and beyond, with full, filmless freedom.
TAP implementation begins with a thorough assessment of your needs followed by the establishment of a comprehensive conversion plan with a detailed timeline. The process includes hard copy file removal from your imaging site, electronic inventorying, establishment of a secure VPN connection and on-demand 24/7 scanning services. General radiographic images are scanned in 2k spatial resolution and 8-bit grayscale.
