According to a recent study, radiology represents nearly 90 percent of the imaging volume in healthcare today – with levels growing faster than in any other specialty. That's just one reason why David Grandchamp and his IT team at Robert D. Russo, MD and Associates Radiology have been early adopters of cuttingedge information technology applications.

"As technology changes, so does the size of the data sets," explains Grandchamp, Director of IT at Russo Radiology. More advanced equipment is producing images in finer and finer slices – 64, 128, in some cases as many as 256 – and generating files that can exceed 500 MB. Due to the size of data files and the need to share them between Russo Radiology's nine locations, it's no wonder Grandchamp was on a quest for greater bandwidth.

"To handle those files, we need bigger processors to crunch the data and bigger pipes to move it across," says Grandchamp. Traditional T1 lines or bonded T1 lines delivered throughput of 1.5 or 3 MB per second, which left doctors waiting minutes for study results. For busy physicians, any delay meant lost revenue and compromised customer service.

"Our goal was to find a single vendor and a single source solution that could tie us together on a single network," says Grandchamp. "And speed is the name of the game."
