Many of our users stop publishing DICOM CD/DVDs instead they share patient images through PostDICOM. Although they initially began to use the solution as a cloud PACS, they realized that it was the best way to exchange medical images with both colleagues and patients as well. It has become a new trend and replaced the CD/DVDs in most cases. PostDICOM’s unique DICOM image sharing technology is now the new way of image distribution and archiving so sometimes we are calling it PostDICOM DICOM CD Publisher.
Our customers are not only saving quite sum of money with each unburned CD/DVDs, but also get rid of the other costs associated with CD/DVD publisher (robot). Such units generally require dedicated employee who should know about the technology of the robot, fix the minor issues and follow the consumables goods like CD/DVDs, labels, cartridges etc. In addition to this, each CD publishing cost around 1$. If you decide use qualified CD or DVDs this cost is getting higher. Once a problem occurs in these units, this means you need to add these costs. In the worst case scenario you have to replace the entire unit. This is another dilemma because entry level CD/DVD publisher cost around 5000 $ and when you have problems with entry-level solutions you must raise your budget up to 20.000 $.
There is a general tendency to forget changes that have already taken place, especially if they occur slowly. Many tools, used as recording or archive files such as floppy disks, tape recorders and VHS recorders were outdated in this way. They were important tools of the 80s and 90s. There were special drivers and units to play them. All gone and become historical objects. In addition to these items, there were also special shelves and furniture to keep them organized. They're gone too and probably boxed up in garages with these recorders. Portable dicom CD/DVD usage is in decline like many other technologies that we once used and eventually they will be souvenirs. You might think that CD/DVD’s will be around for a while. If you think in that way, you should check second time when you buy a pc or note-book whether it has CD/DVD driver or not. Probaply you realize that there are no such drivers in many brands.

Moreover, these documents are not in DICOM format and they cannot be stored into a standard PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems).

For many years, clinics and hospitals used on-premise PACS on the site. In those systems, they distribute DICOM images by burning images into CDs and distribute them by mail. Distribution of CDs is a cumbersome process, and no one knows when the recipient gets the CDs and when will the evaluation occurs. Moreover, CDs contain a basic DICOM viewer and they support only one operating system. If the CD viewer is not compatible with the operating system of the recipient, they cannot view and process the images at all.
