Okay, here we are. Let me start with the basics. Get a map! See Europe? This big thing, right in the middle of it, this is Germany! That’s where we live. There are quite number of us, must be around about 80 millions these days, which is probably more people than there are bath towels […]
From today on, for the benefit of those readers who may not be familiar with the German language the author will enjoy the pleasure to post the occasional article in English …rrrrrright, folks, got that? Here we are! Actually we are here for more than four years already… more or less… but if you weren’t […]
Time to Care – How to love your patients and your job “If you only read one book about healthcare in your lifetime, whether you are a patient or a professional, let this be the book.” (Michael Brophy, Irish Society for Quality and Safety in Healthcare) And that’s true – it’s the best book I […]

Rochester, N.Y., September 17, 2012. aycan Medical Systems, a recognized worldwide leader in medical imaging, announced today it has received FDA 510(k) clearance for aycan mobile, an iPad app for Teleradiology.
Designed to quickly, easily, and securely transfer DICOM images from hospitals and imaging centers to on-call and other radiologists and referring physicians with an iPad, aycan mobile’s simple interface and robust feature set make it the ideal tool for remote review, interpretation, and diagnosis of radiological images; reviewing images at patient bedsides; teleconsulting with colleagues; distributing images in house and much more. Together with aycan OsiriX PRO, a cost-efficient post processing workstation, aycan mobile improves workflow with key features including lossless JPEG2000 compression, automatic 256-bit AES encryption, and multiple series comparison and synchronization. aycan mobile has both FDA 510(k) clearance and European CE-Marking.
“This solution supports the growing demand for remote and portable access to medical images while lowering costs,” said Frank Burkhardt, aycan Director, North & Latin American Operations. “aycan mobile allows radiologists to work remotely more easily and to better communicate/ collaborate with referring physicians and other medical personnel helping to improve patient access to services, especially in rural areas.”
aycan OsiriX PRO, a required system component, is an FDA and CE-certified cost-effective highly functional 64-bit workstation for conventional, multi-slice and other image reading.
aycan OsiriX PRO, the popular DICOM Workstation for reading and postprocessing operates jointly with it’s DICOM interface and is supports also connectivity to RIS / HIS of different vendors.Uptodate we have implemented connectivity to the following ven…

Because PACS System contracts slowly bend to its end, many customers are in search of an alternative system. Unfortunately, this search is everything but easy. PACS Providers often use its own methods to save data in their archives. This often leads to problems during data transmissions between the old and new system. Hence, it’s no miracle that some customers are afraid of changing their PACS. As a result of it, small companies who specialized in data cleaning and standardization of private DICOM tags, etc. were developed. These companies then migrate the DICOM from one vendor to another.
Due to the fact that DICOM part 10 requires to save data in a vendor-neutral format, DICOM has developed as a standard. This should ensure that data can be simply and without any problems integrated in every other PACS.
As a result the concept of a vendor-neutral-archive (VNA) has evolved, which essentially is an archive of DICOM data with standard tags and no proprietary compressions. Therefore expensive data migrations at the end of a contract can be avoided, because the customers of a VNA, who have saved their data as a backup in the DICOM format, can simply transfer their data from the old PACS into the new one.
The today’s PACS are kind of a repository of countless radiology images. They save and show pictures of several radiology modalities of different vendors. In parallel, another concept was developed which summarizes medical pictures and documents of several departments beyond the Radiology into an enterprise-covering archive, which is also called VNA.
So that each of such archives is working, there are three fundamental requirements:
aycan store was developed in 2003 as a vendor-neutral PACS archive to fulfill all of this requirements. It provides uncompromising DICOM compatibility as well as a seamlessly integration in any current RIS or HIS system. In addition, aycan store can be used as modality-storage, departments archive or as clinic-wide archive and thus versatile in its usage.
VNA is a concept which develops steadily. From the data property DICOM of the customers, to an enterprise archive which contains different data formats of different sources. Therefore vendor-neutral-archives have the potential to change the IT in the healthcare worldwide.
