DICOM Director DICOM Routing Solutions

Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a comprehensive set of standards for handling, storing and transmitting information in medical imaging. It includes a file format definition and a network communication protocol. Many of the modern medical modalities support various degrees of DICOM functions like storage, storage commitment, print, worklist, MPPS, and procedure status indication. Even though many medical imaging modalities conforms to DICOM standard their degree of compliance to various DICOM functions are limited. These limitations are addressed by this custom DICOM Director solution as complete DICOM bridging solution.

SoftTeam’s customizable DICOM Director solution includes DICOM message routing engine and various processing modules that can be customized to meet various inter-connect needs that arise during the implementation and integration of any medical imaging modalities in an integrated health care environment.
