Imaging Centers
Integrated PACS and RIS solutions from a single source
As the demand for radiological studies is constantly growing, it is essential for imaging centers to optimize their workflow to the extent that they are able to accommodate more and more patients. Our solutions for PACS and RIS help imaging centers achieve a higher patient throughput by means of a streamlined workflow and efficient reporting tools.
Highlights
- Stability
iQ-SYSTEM PACS simply does what a PACS is supposed to do, namely to offer a stable and reliable performance with an average uptime nearing 100%. Rapid Reports
The time passing between the end of an imaging study and the release of the final report is one of the key indicators for the imaging center’s performance. iQ-RIS and iQ-SYSTEM PACS ensure short report turnaround times due to features such as structured reporting, voice recognition or previous study management.Easy Result Sharing
Radiologists can flexibly choose how they want to share medical images and reports with the referring physicians. iQ-SYSTEM PACS and iQ-RIS allow for both classic report communication via paper, fax or CD, as well as modern web portal options for easy image access from anywhere.

Teleradiology
Available technologies in remote diagnostics
By implementing teleradiology systems, hospitals and imaging centers increase their independence, flexibility as well as savings in time and resources. Additionally, they can outsource possibilities for sub-specializations while keeping high standards and eliminating bottle-necks. Radiologists do not have to be present at the same location as the patients and even the largest images can be transferred in a matter of minutes.
In order to help you find the appropriate teleradiology solution, we prepared a helpful brochure which will guide you through the “jungle” of available technologies for remote diagnostics.
Cloud
How it works
Cloud-based PACS solutions provide secure image access anytime and anywhere, without the hassle of IT maintenance costs and investment. Data is available 24/7 including offsite backup.Target group
Cloud solutions are ideal for small to mid-sized healthcare institutions that want to access, view, store, import, print and share medical images efficiently and securely, while saving on IT maintenance costs.iQ-Solution
iQ-4CLOUD offers everything you would expect from a cloud solution. It runs on all operating systems and browsers and has been cleared by CE and FDA.
Web-based access
How it works
This solution requires a PACS system that distributes medical imaging studies via http or https web links. By using web-based access, a secure connection can be established giving the user the possibility to link selected studies and reports with full interactivity.Target group
Web-based access is recommended for in-house reading in hospitals or study transmission to referring physicians. When using compression, it is also ideal for remote reading or emergency support.iQ-Solution
Our iQ-WEB PACS is the perfect choice for web-based access. In combination with iQ-ROUTER, it can manage speedy and secure image transmissions by using compression.
DICOM SSL
How it works
DICOM Communication using image compression and VPN or SSL is a technology that uses standard DICOM nodes (IP, AET) on both communication sides. The communication of DICOM protocols takes place by using a compression proxy between the modalities on each site. This way, transmission speed can be increased significantly.Target group
This solution is optimal for any highly frequented and/or time-critical connection between imaging centers. The communication can be bidirectional.iQ-Solution
iQ-ROUTER helps you optimize your DICOM communication using compression and VPN.
DICOM Email
How it works
DICOM email allows for sending emails manually from a DICOM node. Any selected DICOM object can be transmitted in a fast, secure and cost-saving way as the standard email infrastructure can be used.Target group
DICOM Email is best for transmitting medical images between low frequented point-to-multipoint healthcare providers like small imaging centers with low imaging traffic.iQ-Solution
iQ-VIEW already includes DICOM email as one of its features.
Multisite & Vendor Neutral Archiving
Access to medical images and records across and between enterprises
Hospitals and other healthcare providers comprising multiple sites need technologies that enable them to access medical records at multiple distributed points of access and share them within and between enterprises. Both VNA and XDS are must-know terms in this context.
Need help?
VNA and XDS seem to be quite similar technologies. In fact, they are two comparable and complementary approaches to one single problem. We are pleased to offer you consulting on this topic and supply you with products and services that meet your individual needs.
Advantages
- Fast data exchange
- No double examinations
- Efficient data security
Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA)
This information technology allows archiving digital medical images with documents and files in a standards-compliant way. The used central storage infrastructure meets patient-centered clinical needs both within and across multiple medical specialties regardless of the health IT systems provider.
VNA is based upon standards that provide healthcare enterprises system interoperability and data ownership through system and data format neutrality.
Cross-Enterprise Document Sharing (XDS)
The XDS technology enables the standards-compliant sharing of digital medical documents including images and files across multiple healthcare enterprises. “XDS-I” is the branch of XDS dedicated to medical images.
XDS is a defined set of IHE standards (actors and transactions). The XDS roles can be fulfilled by a number of applications such as PACS and VNA. For example, iQ-WEB, at the heart of the iQ-SYSTEM PACS, is enabled to act as an XDS Repository with XDS-I modules such as iQ-4VIEW, as well as other third-party XDS-I enabled HTML5 medical image viewers.
