PACS Data Archiving

Continuing advancements in medical imaging technologies provide great benefits for care teams and their patients alike, but they also increase a hospital’s data management burden. MR and multi-slice CT images offer high levels of visual detail but produce files that are dozens or even hundreds of megabytes in size. Multiply that by hundreds of patients and multiple modalities, and data storage quickly becomes a nightmare scenario for the IT department.
Hospitals are now addressing this growing challenge through the use of vendor-neutral PACS data archives. These systems allow hospitals to centrally manage, migrate and protect imaging data from across the enterprise, regardless of the modality.
This webcast highlights the numerous benefits that vendor-neutral PACS data archives can provide including:
- eliminating PACS vendor lock-in, putting you back in the driver’s seat when negotiating new contracts
- accessing studies from any workstation that supports DICOM
- automatically retaining PACS data in multiple geographic locations, improving business continuity
