SpongePACS
was
designed to handle the diagnostic image CDs, otherwise
known as DICOM CDs, that medical offices receive from
outside facilities. As most offices have begun to realize,
the use of these DICOM CDs is becoming more prevalent. Even
though the images can be viewed, the ability to manage the
images and CDs is difficult at best. We have designed a
system that will work with any practice, large or small, to
handle digital images that are brought into the office. No
more storage rooms, searching for CD’s or attempts to
manually manage files and folders.
We have developed a FileMaker based, database solution to
import the images and store them in a logical manner in a
Digital Archive. Other images can be 'soaked' or imported
into the system, including, jpg, png, tif, bmp, pdf, mpg,
and mov files. Therefore, digital camera photos, scanned
images, and other image types can also be stored for the
patient.
Another concern for US users is HIPAA and security, and we
utilize a password protected, user database that has an
audit trail to provide HIPAA compatibility and security.
On the Mac, we utilize OsiriX as the viewer
for DICOM images. On the PC, we utilize
DicomWorks as the viewer
for DICOM images. The other graphic formats are viewed
with the default application for each
type.
