Radiology

Radiologists utilize a variety of advanced medical imaging devices, such as X-ray machines, CT Scanners, MRI Machines, and Ultrasound equipment, to diagnose and monitor patients’ health conditions. Images from these devices are stored as DICOM files and are digitally transmitted over PACS and RIS and to other healthcare professionals. The medical records and patient health data in these images may include Protected Health Information (PHI) like medical history, diagnosis, treatment plans, and personal identifiers.

Healthcare providers have also increased the use of Wireless, Internet, and Network-connected capabilities and portable media like a USB or CD to share radiology images and other patient data. Preventing a data breach across the board in the radiology group and protecting PHI from a cyber attack is not only critical for brand reputation but also required from compliance perspective.
