Agfa HealthCare

Agfa HealthCare (Booth 4800) is showing its Impax Data Center, a large-scale multimedia storage for hospital groups, regional healthcare organizations and national medical archives. The solution consolidates the data from disparate systems into a single point of storage to serve the needs of the enterprise. Impax Data Center is a DICOM archive system designed to store clinical DICOM data objects, including DICOM encapsulated non-imaging objects such as waveforms, structured reports and PDFs. The solution allows access to various datasources within the hospital or regional enterprise, through a mechanism served by the Impax Data Center. The solution can meet the needs of new, data-intense imaging technologies, such as multidetector CT and allows for the extension of PACS into other clinical departments, such as cardiology and orthopedics.
