When imaging data is recorded in Kanta
- the comparison images are available between both private and public healthcare organisations, which makes the professionals work easier
- the patient will be able to view imaging notes and other imaging-related documents, such as the referral and the report, in MyKanta.
- the obligation to archive imaging materials has been transferred to Kela, which means that regional and local archives can be discontinued.
Healthcare professionals can use the service for retrieving
- imaging material archived in the Archive of Imaging Data
- imaging documents entered in the Patient Data Repository.
Imaging studies that are stored in the Archive of Imaging Data
Currently, it is possible to archive
