aycan Digitalsysteme

Fully Integrated PACS solution provides efficient workflow


Würzburg, July 3, 2015, aycan, a recognized global leader in workflow solutions for medical imaging, announced today the installation of an aycan PACS for Alorf Hospital, a leading multi-specialty hospital in Jahra, Kuwait.

For its digital equipment, Dr. Khaled Kamal, consultant and head of the radiology department, trusts in German products. It was important for Alorf Hospital that their PACS vendor offers a turnkey solution with all components working together seamlessly.

Customized for Alorf Hospital, the aycan PACS solution is comprised of aycan store, a scalable, high performance DICOM archiving and distribution system; aycan OsiriX PRO, a diagnostic viewer; aycan mobile, a teleradiology iPad application; aycan Private Cloud, a secure teleradiology image transfer solution; and aycan xray-print, a DICOM paper print solution.

“As a senior radiologist, I worked with different workstations, radiology printing solutions and PACS systems – truly, I found that aycan offers the best solution and with superior quality regarding paper printing. Clinicians are very pleased with the cost savings, which made the administration quite happy as well.”, says Dr. Kamal. 

Dr. Kamal further adds: “Working with aycan OsiriX and PACS makes life so easy for the radiologist – with amazing workflow and quick image transfer. Last but not least is the aycan mobile teleradiology solution… it is the best no doubt, and nothing can compete with aycan in this area. Teleradiology is an important part of my job. I can now leave the hospital and travel with peace of mind knowing I have access to all images at all time.”


To simplify the work of a radiologist, aycan developed the aycan mobile iPad App, which offers physicians an opportunity to communicate without being in the clinical office. Furthermore it is possible to take data paperless to the patient’s bedside. And via Private Cloud it is very easy to change data on every device in real time.

Deconstructed PACS and Structured Reporting at the ECR 2015 in Vienna

m.st

From 4th to 8th of March 2015 the European Society of Radiology will hold its annual European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna. aycan will be presenting its PACS solutions from nearly two decades of experience at its exhibition booth 112.

High flexibility, scalability as well as future security is offered by the aycan ‘Deconstructed PACS’ solution. With ‘Deconstructed PACS’, single PACS components (worklist, archives and viewer) can be obtained from different vendors and connected through standardized interfaces into a complete system. With this best-of-breed approach, the PACS can be optimally adapted to the users needs.


PACS solutions from aycan are vendor neutral and use standard interfaces such as DICOM and HL7, which are important for the integration of the individual components.

aycan store for example is a DICOM PACS archive, which has been developed vendor neutral. Thus aycan offers its customers the ability to configure their PACS archive individually and adapt it to their own workflow. Due to the DICOM standard aycan store can be smoothly integrated into common working environments while at the same time providing high reliability and short access times.

In aycan OsiriX PRO medical images from different modalities and formats can be displayed and processed in various ways. The DICOM compatibility, fast image loading-times and an intuitive operation are providing an optimal and improved workflow.

“We at aycan have recognized the value of flexible, vendor neutral PACS-Systems over 15 years ago and therefore designed our products for this concept,” says Stephan Popp, CEO of aycan Digitalsysteme. “With our PACS archive aycan store and our multimodal aycan OsiriX PRO Workstation, we can not only provide the archive and viewer component, but instead integrate optimum workflow systems due to our many years of experience.”

aycan will also participate in the multimedia classroom. Participants will learn to interpret cases of CT Angiography, MDCT in trauma as well as Cardiac CT and oncologic imaging on different workstations including aycan OsiriX PRO.

Meet aycan and its team of experts on this year ECR 2015 at booth 112 (Expo A) for latest products and information.

Deconstructing PACS

Der Arzt

Using Multiple Brands to Achieve Maximum System Performance

At RSNA 2015, a “Deconstructed PACS” was widely discussed. The concept, well familiar to and employed by aycan for over 15 years, means to use the best vendor/product for each of the components of a PACS (a worklist (RIS, EHR), a PACS viewer and an archive (VNA)) to achieve individual user requirements and maximum system performance.

Keys to Successfully Implementing a Deconstructed PACS Strategy
The key to successfully implementing a Deconstructed PACS strategy is to start with a knowledgeable systems integrator to choose and integrate the right PACS component brands to meet your particular needs and continue with one service provider that will act as the single point of contact for ongoing system service and support. To ensure the effectiveness of this approach, on-site administrative support is required to ensure the service and support vendor is informed and engaged on any individual system component changes, upgrades or updates. This will help minimize diagnosis and resolution time should an issue arise with the system. 

Main Advantages of a Deconstructed PACS
Using this “best of brand” approach allows you to attain your preferred workflow without having to put all your eggs in one vendors’ basket. 

  • Less compromise on user requirements—get exactly what you need from each system component without having to make compromises. 
  • Improved cost efficiency—buy just what you need, not a bundle that may have things you don’t. 
  • More vendor independence—it’s easier to replace individual components than an entire system from one vendor.

If you use one source for integration and a single point of contact for service and support, such as aycan, you’ll achieve the same and better benefits as if working with a single brand provider, but without all the added cost and compromise on system performance.
