Study Cast CD’s
I have a Dr.’s office sending us echocardiology studies on disk. The office uses Study Cast, a cloud PACS solution. The disks are pretty much worthless when we try to import images, particularly the dynamic images that are an important part of a cardiology study. Anyone have any experience with this company, or disks they produce? It seems like dicom is not a priority as I can see JPGs in the File types and possibly a compression issue?
The studies are consistently not usable. -

I have heard of this issue with Study Cast before, although have not personally experienced it. Make sure your office that is sending you these disks is aware of your discontent as it may help them to understand they are not performing the best service for their clients. Certainly a quick recipe for losing clients…

Found something interesting. We are having this problem with more than one facility… It may the Modality.

[font=”lucida sans unicode, sans-serif”][size=”2″][color=”#212529″][b]We experimented by having them burn a disk directly from modality-no good, same issue. From PACS, same issue.

[font=”calibri,sans-serif”][size=”2″][font=”lucida sans unicode,sans-serif”][color=”#212529″][b]So burning to disk from either the pacs or the modality breaks something. We have arranged with Powershare to create a destination on their modality so that they could push directly from modality to Powershare and lo and behold, that worked.
