The FDA seems to be working through a batch of mobile applications at the moment. Last Friday we reported on the new low-cost mobile ultrasound system that it approved from Mobisante. And today comes news of an iPhone and iPad based medical imaging system for Doctors that has gotten the green light.

The application is called Mobile MIM, and has been created by MIM Software Inc. This company specializes in creating software for Radiologists (who diagnose through imaging) and Oncologists (who specialize in treating tumors). It claims that Mobile MIM is the first application that provides medical-grade imaging for Doctors that the FDA has approved.

The actual scanning process still has to be done by dedicated equipment. What Mobile MIM does is allow the results to be assessed on a mobile screen, without the need for a terminal. Effectively, it allows the Radiologists and Oncologists of the world to view their lab results no matter where they are.

However, this is NOT intended as a replacement for large screen terminals. iPhone’s still suffer from having tiny screens – Mobile MIM is only meant to be used when the diagnostician has no access to a full screen.

This is a real mobile health story. This application isn’t something you’ll see rubbing elbows with Angry Birds on the App Store. It’s an industry-specific app that does a particular job and does it very well. This kind of application is a forerunner of something I believe will become more and more prevalent as time passes – highly-useful and highly specific applications that only need to be marketed to a particular professional segment.

As far as we are concerned, this news is interesting but not practical for a medial quality performance standpoint.  Images on limit monitors may be OK for referring physicians however, diagnostic radiologist who are the “final decision makers” as far as the diagnosis will always need the highest performance monitors and resolutions.

In the future, we are likely to see mobile workstations like that of NextComputing where the high performance machine can be transported easily and can be plugged into high resolution monitors at various locations.

Feel free to contact us if you hear of mobile radiology solutions that you think may work.  Ultimately, it’s all about getting the patient the diagnosis as fast as possible!

This leads me to wonder – Does biggest = best???

Archer radiology is a small radiology practice with only 1-2 radiologists and are obviously not in the same ballpark as the above-mentioned practices (yet, heh, heh), however i suppose that every imaging center or hospital has a unique need.

For site averaging less than 200 studies/day, we welcome them to contact us or smaller radiology practices that can give the imaging site or hospital more individualized coverage.  They can rest assured that their account will be a top priority.

For extremely large hospitals and imaging centers that need a large scale operation like the top 50 biggest radiology practices, they should consider contacting one of the big players above.  Large volume sites will obviously need more full time equivalent (FTE) radiologists and more manpower on nights and weekends.

Archer radiology congratulates the heavy hitters above!

If you are an imaging center or hospital in Los Angeles needing more customized attention and coverage, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Portable Ultrasound Machines Imaging is one of the most important parts of medical diagnosis and includes such techniques as ultrasound, x-ray, MRI and various body scans. Using a portable ultrasound machine is a popular method of examining the body that uses sound waves to see structures inside the body without using any radiation. It is also widely used in obstetrics to gain information about a developing pregnancy and in biopsies to locate the right spot. A cardiac ultrasound, also known as echocardiography, uses standard ultrasound techniques to image two-dimensional slices of the heart. Many portable echocardiograph machines are available including those that do stress echo and 3d/4d imaging. For many practicioners, a portable ultrasound machine offers freedom that a normal bulky ultrasound machine does not. It allows for use in multiple locations and being lightweight allows for easy transport. Both kinds of equipment are expensive to purchase. Used portable ultrasound machines make them far more affordable for low budget or non-profit clinics, hospitals, and practices or for those just starting out. Good used equipment comes with excellent dependability and with certifications of inspection and warranties not much different than that for new equipment.
