Healthcare is increasingly a distributed business that requires attention to quickly obtaining returns on invested capital. Medical imaging and diagnostic services providers must be able to rapidly move patient studies from the capturing imaging facility to the reading radiologist and finally to the referring physician. To maximize the return on investments for digital modalities and staff resources, facilities are looking for ways to increase the number of studies per day that can be completed. This complex set of requirements makes the manual management and distribution of this critical data an extremely difficult, error-prone and time consuming task, ultimately leading to higher costs and slower response times.
SENCOR has developed the intelligent PACStacks DICOM Router to address these challenges. The PACStacks DICOM Router automates the distribution of DICOM studies to teleradiologists and referring physicians, both onsite and offsite. This innovative technology designed by SENCOR allows hospitals and clinics to securely and automatically simultaneously re-route study data to multiple DICOM nodes with the confidence that data will be accurate when it arrives.
SENCOR appliances use a persistent store-and-forward technology that continually tries to send data until it is successful, even if the equipment reboots. The ability to make multiple re-tries ensures the safe delivery of data independent of the quality of the communications link.
Ensures compatibility with the widest range of DICOM modalities as well as PACS viewing workstations and film digitizing libraries from a variety of different vendors.
Studies can be scheduled for delivery based on date, time, location, and other DICOM study parameters. This routing flexibility allows this software to accomplish the most powerful set of routing strategies and policies available in one single solution.
The iCAS architecture enlists multiple levels of data integrity checks before and after DICOM data is transferred between any PACStacks appliances, therefore guaranteeing the integrity of any delivered data.
Strong data encryption ensures safe routing across the Internet and password authentication enhances security protection.
Multi-threaded capability and store and forward technology allow the SDR appliance to distribute DICOM study data to multiple local and remote locations simultaneously.
A web-style interface simplifies management and allows for easy setup of policy-based persistent routes.
