Medical Image Conversion
Current imaging technologies allow economical capture of voluminous streams of such images to various digital media, such as optical disks or tapes, for storage. Combined with the new insurance mandates for more accurate and effective diagnosis, the volumes of such images are skyrocketing.

As with all such technologies, they undergo continual evolution. Today’s solutions offer compelling feature sets but migrating previously captured images into the new environments can be daunting. Between the issues of old media and logical formats to the sheer volumes involved, conversion tonew formats may seem impracticable.

NDC steps in to ensure convenient, reliable and timely conversion. Our processes eliminate the hassles and risks by assuring complete integrity via time tested methodologies. We process all physical media formats (optical disks and tapes) and image formats.

Medical Image Recovery
As dependable as digital technologies may be, sooner or later, over time, the tape and optical disk media on which images are stored undergo gradual degradation that may impact access to the stored images. This may be accelerated by environmental conditions of the storage environment or simply repeated handling.
