By introducing comprehensive standards for
handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical images, DICOM
revolutionized the world of healthcare. Thanks to DICOM, the PACS that
you use has the potential to deliver any image – anytime, anywhere.
Provided you can tackle the issues along the way.Issues in Medical Imaging
The issues are many. Huge images pose big storage problems. These
images also have to make their way through limited bandwidth, without
losing data integrity. To comply with legal requirements, images have
to be stored for several years. Newer developments – like growing
complexity in imaging, use of colour, application of 3D and
innovations in the business model – add to the challenge. What’s more,
tighter integration – within and between organizations and across
specialties – is still a long way away.
IT Infrastructure – Under Pressure
As a result of all this, the IT infrastructure of healthcare providers
is under tremendous pressure. Worse still, the typical strategy of
increasing network capacity is making less and less sense. Is there a
way out? More importantly, is there a way forward?
The ABOve 2000 Platform
Built exclusively for medical imaging, ABOve 2000 is a powerful ABO-based
platform that addresses today’s concerns and actualizes tomorrow’s
possibilities. Riding on ABO’s superior data compression and
reorganization capabilities, ABOve 2000 offers the following benefits:
• lossless to lossy scalability from a single
compressed file
also referred to as embedded coding
• Highly optimized data and image management
• Savings in storage (online and offline)
• Savings in bandwidth utilization
• Greater security
• Flexible user experience
• Interoperability, business continuity and grid enabling
• Improved turn-around times and productivity
• Scaleable platform architecture
• Better ROI from existing IT infrastructure
• Region of Interest (ROI) decoding
• ABOve 2000 also provides advanced pixel intelligence progressive
transmission using a client/server protocol called MVPIP
ABOve 2000-based Products
A partner of DICOM, MatrixView offers the Data
Optimizer – a product designed to optimize your DICOM world. Cimar
Medical Networks (a MatrixView subsidiary) offers the MATRiXiti suite,
comprising PACStream and EchoPACStream.
These SDKs integrate seamlessly with your
existing Hospital Information System (HIS), deliver lossless
compression, offer a greater compression ratio, speed up transmission
of high fidelity medical images over disparate bandwidths and optimize
medical imaging. Importantly, the SDKs offer never-before versatility,
fidelity and efficiency.
