The Way Our Service Works
■ The patient is scanned by the preferred imaging technique.
■ The images loaded onto the Physician Workstation where the physician can draw
the volumes and structures from anywhere the physician has internet access.
■ The plan is either printed for review or viewed on the workstation.
■ Once the physician approves the plan, it is then exported to the center and/or
hardcopy printed at your facility for treatment.
How do We do That?
■ We utilize low-cost, high-speed data circuits, such as: DSL or Cable Internet,
to connect the cancer center with our offices.
■
Information is transmitted through a point-to-point Virtual Private Network
(VPN).
■ Throughout the entire process the patient data is encrypted to 3 times the level
required by HIPPA.
Remote Planning Options
■ Temporary coverage to full dosimetry services.
■ Contouring to complete treatment planning.
■ With our secure remote software, we can use your current
planning software.
