## Indications for use
The AMICAS Diagnostic Workstation (ADW) is software intended for viewing and diagnostic interpretation of images acquired from CT, MR, CR, DR, US and other DICOM-compliant medical imaging systems when installed on suitable commercial-standard hardware. The ADW receives imaging studies over a network from AMICAS servers or directly from CD with images utilizing both lossless (reversible) and lossy (irreversible) compression. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that monitor quality, ambient light conditions and image compression ratios are consistent with the clinical application.
