Double Black adds images per minute feature to DICOMetrix

DICOMetrix, a DICOM image flow and network performance monitoring solution from Double Black Imaging (DBI), now has an Images per Minute (IPM) feature that allows for user-controlled monitoring on the enterprise version. 

The IPM feature is beneficial for monitoring slower modalities and slower inter-facility connections in a PACS enterprise that are typically around 1 image per second (IPS), according to DBI. Monitoring in IPM makes setting baseline and alert settings much easier and more accurate.

DICOMetrix is a resource tool that enables PACS administrators, directors and IT personnel to monitor, historically track system performance, and alert radiology and PACS support staff about system slow-downs and outages, the Westminster, Colo.-based company said.

Double Black Imaging develops X-Cal proprietary display system calibration software to bundle with Wide LCD systems, graphic controllers and DICOMetrix PACS performance monitoring software.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
