Stand-alone CD burner debuts

PACS provider American Medical Sales has launched the Catella CD Burner, a self-contained, integrated, automatic DICOM CD burner designed for high-volume CD production. Up to 50 CDs can be automatically printed without reloading media. The system can provide data backup as well as produce CDs containing medical images for referring physicians and patients. It transfers DICOM images onto a CD, automatically printing a label with the patient name and creation date. A customized institutional label can also be created. Each CD includes a DICOM viewer for image viewing and manipulation on Windows-based PCs.
