Edge PACS is a web based system that integrates multiple modalities to provide image management and streamlined workflow. Edge PACS is DICOM 3.0 conformant, and allows to capture, store, diagnose, share and distribute medical images in an organized and efficient manner. Edge PACS enhances the ability to communicate with referring physicians and affiliated facilities.
Edge PACS has three components – the Edge PACS server, Edge PACS viewer and the Edge PACS Web viewer.
Edge PACS Server
Edge Server is a DICOM server, Database server and Web server rolled into one. Edge PACS server is a DICOM complaint system that is designed to receive DICOM and Non-DICOM modalities(through a DICOM converter) and archive them on a DICOM server.
Edge PACS has a robust scalable architecture that supports all the DICOM 3.0 functions. Edge PACS is available in both Windows and Linux platforms. It supports clustered server functionality and has multi threading architectural feature.
Edge PACS server has a routing component that provides an intelligent rule-based system to route patient images and studies to other DICOM based sources in multi-modality and high volume environments.
Edge PACS Viewer
Edge PACS viewer is a Win 32 application that is designed to view and manipulate patient studies from the Edge PACS server. The images thus received can be added into template-based reports or burned into CD/DVDs or printed out in DICOM printers through a customizable DICOM print composer.
Edge PACS viewer has an intuitive user interface that includes high-performance 2D image processing, annotation & measurement tools and 3D imaging with multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), region segmentation with volume measurements and cutaway viewing and interactive VOI. Edge PACS viewer gives the option to have a customizable toolbar based on the user preferences.
Edge Web viewer is a web based application that allows retrieving medical images stored in the Edge PACS server by using the internet explorer, while being connected to the internet or intranet. It provides physicians in with dynamic tools to manipulate and analyze images.
