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.
