Z&Z Medical recently sold and installed a New Digital X-ray Unit with DR from 20/20 Imaging with OpalRad software at Eberline Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Grundy Center, Iowa. While completing the calibration to the unit, Dr Eberline stopped by and thanked us for finally getting him to go digital! He said, “It’s already been well worth the money I’ve spent and the best part of upgrading to digital X ray is the resulting improvement in the quality of care I can give my patients. I am able to get better images more quickly for my patients. I wish I had done it years ago. We have taken more images so far in 2021 than we did all of last year.”
We at Z&Z Medical often hear hesitation from our customers to convert to digital for financial reasons. It is most often the case that months later we hear that they wish they had done it sooner. As with Dr Eberline, most of them admit that they take far more x-rays now then when they had analog imaging. The time saving over analog makes it far easier and more convenient to take an x-ray if they have any hesitation about the patients physical condition. Plus the image quality is always sharp and very dependable, as opposed to film and old chemicals.
If you still have an analog system and would like to learn more about the benefits of digital and speak to facilities that have made the leap – give us a call. We would love to share with you many success stories and add you to the growing list!
Radiologic technologists and technicians both work in the field of Radiology, but the training and responsibilities are very different. Both professions involve working with patients and performing an imaging procedure, but technologists have more education and take on more responsibilities than radiologic technicians do.
Radiologic technologists are expected to earn an Associate degree at a two-year program from an accredited educational institution. Many accredited programs require certain pre-requisite college classes to be completed before even applying to the radiology program. Technologists are licensed by the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.) as well as licensed in the state in which they work
In most Chiropractic and small clinic offices floor space is a premium luxury. To keep monthly rent and lease payments affordable you have to squeeze as many services as possible into the smallest space in your office. Many times, you are forced to get double duty out of one room. Adjustment or procedure rooms get used as dressing or waiting areas while office and clerical duties are performed in kitchens and breakrooms. This is especially true when it comes to the x-ray room in many practices. Since x-rays are not performed continuously throughout the day, these rooms are typically small and quite often used for other services such as massage, adjustments, and procedures. In the days of film developing, this was further complicated by the need for a darkroom. Most x-ray rooms had a darkroom located adjacent to or down the hall from x-ray. You had to leave the patient unattended while you went to develop a series of x-rays. This also took up valuable floor space.
