Image Archiving

Imagine gives you the flexibility to choose and mix storage media--SAN, NAS, DAS, DVD or tape libraries--for image archiving according to your performance requirements and budget. The archiving module has a built-in disaster recovery system: A copy of an archived image is automatically written on to DVD or tape, or stored in a remote site for configuration with disaster recovery.

Images are stored in JPEG lossless 2:1 format as per DICOM standards for easy export to CD/DVD media and exchange with other PACS subsystems.

Any number of acquisition servers and workstations can be connected to the archive. A multithreading and multiprocessing architecture supports an unlimited number of read and write sessions without degradation in performance.

While a scaleable architecture enables storage of an unlimited number of studies in an online archive, images can be moved to a long-term archive on the basis of preset rules.
