Tips from Three Other Practice-Related Weblogs

If you read this weblog for practice tips, I hope it's not the only one you read. Here are three tips from a few other weblogs you should keep in mind--

• Print at Kinko's from Any Computer. Did you know you can send a document from your computer to the nearest Kinko's computer?I didn't know about this service until I read about it at The Practice.  It might be just the thing I need when I'm out of town.
• Zoom Quickly for Easy Reading. If your eyes are tired from reading on a computer screen, press the "control" key and scroll the wheel on your mouse. In most cases, the text size will enlarge. This tip plus for others if from a post at Jim Calloway's Law Practice Tips Blog.
• Digitize X-Rays. Many lawyers like to use X-rays at trial. To get an x-ray into your computer for display later at trial, you can use one of three methods suggested at The South Carolina Trial Law Blog.

Yes, showing jurors is very powerful if the films are digitized right. It is not as easy as it sounds using a digital camera and light box. You may get a digital image that you can put into your computer. But you may not get everything imaged that is on the film. It may be fuzzy/blurred. Even missing some of the image. The digital camera lens may not have the quality of optics neccessary. If you are going to use the digital images in a trial. You want the best possible. You have your clients life and financial future at stake. Nothing to gamble with by using un- professional images that don't meet the American Radiological Society of America Standards. We have many attorneys from all across the US send us medical films to digitize. Because we do it right with a Vidar DiagnosticPro Advantage medical film digitizer. It is the same medical film digitizer used in most major hospitals. We digitize the films at or exceeding the American Radiological standards. We also digitize medical films that are used in Medical Research Studies and Universities. If you are going to use digital images of your clients x-rays I highly recommed that you have it done right.
