By AuntMinnie.com staff writers

Medical Diagnostic Web (MDW) is debuting at RSNA 2018 a blockchain-based software application designed to connect all players in the diagnostic digital imaging space.

With its open, decentralized communications infrastructure, encrypted data transmission, and immutable audit trails, MDW's blockchain marketplace enables individual radiologists and radiology groups to create new business relationships and get compensated immediately for services rendered.

Those wishing to contract for imaging reading services through the platform can purchase blocks of exam interpretation credits at competitive rates. They can then order a reading transaction with any qualified provider of their choice on the system. Once imaging specialists submit their report, payment credits are immediately applied to their account through a secure blockchain transaction. Radiologists can withdraw credits as cash immediately following the deposit.
