Healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, care and imaging centres all struggle with the issue of medical image printing occasionally. This is particularly the case when those facilities are producing images showing patient results, and deciding how to print or share these with all the physicians and caregivers involved. Patient results can include MRIs, X-rays and ultrasound images.
Konica Minolta’s PDB solution for medical printing functions as a gateway between the workstation and the printer. A server equipped with the Konica Minolta DICOM gateway placed between the imaging modality and the Konica Minolta multifunctional device allows users to print the all-important medical images out on paper. With DICOM, patient booklets are automatically created by integrating DICOM images and medical examination reports. These booklets can then be shared with the attending physician or colleagues for further consultation. The booklet can also include accompanying information, such as an access plan, schedules and annotations from the medical imaging centre.
Printing on paper rather than film in this way offers your organisation two distinct advantages, as the cost of the file containing the medical images provided to the patient is reduced overall, and your ecological footprint is minimised.
With the Printed DICOM booklet solution and DICOM gateway, you can print medical images and result reports using the Konica Minolta bizhub Medical. Caregivers and physicians can gather and share relevant patient data, combined with HDO details, in a single booklet, complete with a USB or DVD. Patients can then take this booklet to their GP for further examination.
The recommendation for bizhub Medical is made upon completion of a comprehensive test procedure with a representative selection of Konica Minolta printers. In addition to endorsing the quality and compatibility of the PDB solution, Konica Minolta has developed detailed recommendations for printer settings, to ensure the best possible results and high standards of reliability in a clinical context.

Lets you connect Konica Minolta bizhub Medical Systems to various healthcare software applications to enable quick printing of medical information, appointment schedules and hospital details – a physician’s specialisations or HDO acclamations, for example – in one comprehensive booklet.
