Siemens Introduces MammoSmart

Siemens Medical has a new hardware/software solution called MammoSmart that provides patients with DVDs of their mammography history, including images, demographic info, and medical history.

It connects to a variety of PACS devices and reporting systems and does the disc burning right there. I wonder if radiology centers are going to pass this cost on to patients? I recently had an MRI and they wanted $35 for a CD with my images. How obnoxious is that??

If you ask me, this product looks like a glorified Kodak Photo Kiosk!
