PowerServer is a scalable storage and distribution system for clinical images and data. Images can be stored in lossless or lossy formats. The system is DICOM compliant for image storage, archiving, retrieval, and transmission, and communicates with other DICOM devices. The system also communicates with PowerReader workstations and PowerCache servers. Acquired image data is preserved as captured and changes to display definitions are saved as presentation states so that images may always be reverted back to their initial state. PowerCache is a caching server that communicates with PowerServer and serves PowerReader workstations. A single PowerCache can serve multiple PowerReader workstations, reducing network traffic between PowerReader workstations and PowerServer. PowerReader is a workstation that views, edits, manipulates, annotates, analyzes, stores, and distributes images and data stored on PowerServer and PowerCache. PowerReader can connect directly to PowerServer and can also connect via PowerCache. PowerReader provides the user with the ability to import, transmit, print, display, store, edit, and process medical images and data. Gateway is a stand-alone DICOM compliant workstation that views, edits, manipulates, annotates, analyzes, stores, and distributes images and data. Gateway provides the user with the ability to import, transmit, print, display, store, edit, and process medical images and data
A dedicated computerized radiology information system (RIS) designed to electronically receive, collect, store, manage, assist in analysis of, display, output, and distribute data, within or between healthcare facilities, to support the administrative and clinical activities associated with the provision and utilization of radiology services and facilities. It may be used for patient scheduling and generation of work lists for specific radiological systems, and in conjunction with a picture archiving and communication system (PACS). The system consists of dedicated combined hardware (e.g., computers, terminals, network components) and software (typically embedded).
