World's First Website for Patients to Share Diagnostic-Quality Medical Images

Durham, NC (PRWEB) February 4, 2009 -- Heart Imaging Technologies (HeartIT®) today publicly announced the world's first free website allowing patients to upload and share diagnostic-quality medical images using nothing but a standard web browser, www.webpax.com. "Patients can literally email a web link to someone halfway around the world allowing them to instantly view movies of a beating heart," said Brent Reed, HeartIT's Vice President for Sales and Marketing. "And the best part about it is that the service is completely free."

The industry-standard format for medical images is DICOM. Viewing of DICOM-formatted medical images traditionally requires dedicated workstations costing thousands of dollars, which in turn are connected to picture archiving communications and storage (PACS) systems costing hundreds of thousands more. All of this makes it practically impossible for the average patient to view images of their own body. Today, however, Web 2.0 technologies are empowering patients with the ability to manage their own electronic medical records.

"When I tried to open the (DICOM) files at home, they wouldn't open with any software that I had on my computer," said Page Watkins, an expectant mother who had received a copy of her baby's sonogram on CD. "I went online, Googled the extension that they were filed with and found that your site offered software to open the files. Even better, your software was able to save these
