Personal Dicom Archive: The Imed Stor

The iMed Stor 300, a DICOM device that is used by hospitals and medical facilities as a state-of-the-art digital imaging storage unit, can be used by small and mid-sized medical offices to good advantage as a personal archive for digital images in the DICOM format. Because the iMed Stor 300 is DICOM compliant, it can work in conjunction with both your RIS system capabilities and is also fully PACS compatible as well.

With digital radiology medical imaging being the hottest trend in medical imaging, all sizes of medical facilities can enjoy all of the useful components of the iMed Stor. When it is partnered with RIS systems, your medical office will be able to store text documents that are in DICOM format as well, offering you the ability to store both digital pictures and text files together. This capability allows you to store radiology images with reports in a complete digital file.

PACS compatibility is built into the iMed Stor 300. The iMed Stor allows you to save digital medical images in several different modalities, including PET/CT, CT, MRI, Digital Mammography, and Ultrasound, as well as Computed Radiography (CR) and Direct Digital Radiography (DR) images in its powerful archive. This flexible storage unit gives you the ability to partition your archive, which is particularly important if you work in a practice with multiple physicians. The PACS system also allows for quick retrieval of digital medical images on a personal computer workstation, which, when connected to the Internet, will also give you the ability to send and receive DICOM medical images instantly over the World Wide Web. The iMed Stor 300 operates on a web-based operator interface and system administration for your convenience.

The storage capability of the iMed Stor is a big reason why medical offices choose it for their medical archive. It offers RAID 5 archiving along with one, two, three or four terabytes of initial raw capacity. An embedded database allows for efficient DICOM image management and storage, and that, along with SSL connection support and the small footprint that the equipment needs due its tower configuration, makes it a top choice among leading medical facilities today.

In addition to hefty storage capabilities, the iMed Stor comes with many options. These include a DICOM web viewer, HL7 support for HIS, EMR or RIS system integration, patient registration and modality work list, and data backup provided by a tape drive.

With all of these unique choices, you can configure the iMed Stor 300 to full meet your expectations for a premium personal DICOM archive for your medical facility.
