DoctorD Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Well now I have questions since I service medical and dental offices, The title for your post isn't just cut and dry I would make a selection depending on the tool for the job.... Is this going to be a server or a workstation? IS this going to be the system that receives the pics via either network or hardwire, I have so many questions. internet.security, spikey_richie, goretsky and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1427560-computer-hardware-for-radiologists-1-or-2/#findComment-598810071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranasrule Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) if this is going to be a viewing/reporting workstation then the most thing will be a diagnostic grade display. As for the other things it depends on what the radiologist plans to use this machine for eg will it be used for things like 3D reconstruction ?

It is Workstation to see x-ray etc high quality pictures via a software.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted April 3, 2023 Global Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2023 All of our radiologist stations are Xeons with Quadros (now the RTX Axxx series)...Barcos for the displays. For radiologist stations, I've never seen the desktop line CPU/GPU/Monitors being used. Biggest thing is proper calibrated diagnostic monitors...especially if Mammo is being read. Your PACs vendor doesn't recommend hardware?

DoctorD Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Depending on the software and there are quite a few that I have ran across that the image is stored to the device temp then server and offsite secure storage for viewing and or manipulation I would check with the vendor. Side note I have a dentist that uses an Ipad pro to look at dental images in 360 degrees to determine planning. Personally, I would just go with the Xenon and focus on the monitor requirements as a few have also suggested. internet.security 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1427560-computer-hardware-for-radiologists-1-or-2/#findComment-598810165 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your PACs vendor doesn't recommend hardware? actually we were using Xeons but now there is only one IT advisor who says we must use i9 processor because it is a strong:). i think i have to talk to PACs vendor.

If you are doing RAD work I'd want ECC memory to prevent errors... even with the i9 if it supports DDR5 even that's not true ECC memory I'm going to bet the software is depending more on the GPU than the CPU if it's imaging software or depends on CUDA... I'd put the money into a higher end GPU and more RAM/VRAM if that is the case internet.security 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1427560-computer-hardware-for-radiologists-1-or-2/#findComment-598810396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Supervisor Posted April 6, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted April 6, 2023 Hello, Have you checked with the vendor(s) of the software the radiologists will be using on the computers? Often, medical diagnostic software is qualified to run on specific hardware models, or they may have specific recommendations about what is supported.
