And, with the improved features and functionality of the iPad 2 over its predecessor, the aycan app works even better:

  • The transmission of images is clearly faster because the de-compression and decryption ability of the app is improved due to the iPad 2’s new A5 processor.
  • With the iPad 2’s new graphics’ chip, displaying images (scrolling and W/L) in split-view mode is significantly improved.
  • With the new video out support feature, medical monitors can now be connected to the iPad 2, which allows the app to be used for image viewing where higher resolution is required.

The app is currently available for free from Apple’s European App Store. The app was designed to allow for simple, fast, and safe transfer of DICOM images from hospitals and imaging centers to radiologists and referring physicians with an iPad. It’s designed to work seamlessly with aycan OsiriX PRO, easily allowing DICOM images to be sent from Osirix PRO to any iPad including those that are 3G UMTS enabled. The new app does not require the set up of a VPN tunnel as all images are automatically encrypted. The aycan teleradiology app has received the CE-mark. FDA clearance to follow.

Mangelnde IT Redundanz kostet medizinische Einrichtungen jährlich 1,2 Mrd. €

Ein aktueller Bericht der Speicherfirma EMC zeigt, dass 61% der untersuchten Gesundheitseinrichtungen im letzten Jahr mindestens ein Problem mit der Datensicherheit, Datenverlust oder ungeplanten Systemausfällen hatte.

19% hatten ein Problem mit der Datensicherheit durch Schadsoftware oder Computerviren (58%), Angriffe von aussen (42%), Diebstahl oder Verlust von Computerequipment (38%) oder Benutzerfehler (35%).

28% hatten einen Datenverlust zu verzeichnen, der durch Hardwareausfälle (51%), Stromausfälle (49%) und Ausfall der Notstromversorgung (27%) bedingt war.

40% mussten eine ungeplanten Systemausfall hinnehmen. Die Gründe hierfür waren Hardwareausfälle (65%), Stromausfälle (49%), Softwarefehler (31%) und Datenkorruption (24%).

Für RIS/PACS Installationen sollten Anwender auch immer eine Risikoabwägung durchführen und die wichtigsten Systeme redundant vorhalten. Diese Redundanz wird aber in vielen Fällen aus Kostengründen nicht eingeplant.
