“SARC MedIQ is an inexpensive and a turnkey solution for a DICOM ultrasound. Furthermore (and most importantly), your ultrasound tech can complete their job. With ultrasound technologists costing around $100,000 per year, every minute you save per exam is even more money saved compared to what you will save storing images manually in the cloud. We get seamless electronic reporting with ultrasound data going directly from our machines in the US into our report, and an image storage solution that’s easy to access and navigate on the web, along with reports that go right into the EMR.”
