ConnectWeb

Description

ConnectWeb is an ideal method for access to DICOM studies from within a facility. Because of high bandwidth available from within a facility, users can download studies from the archive within seconds. Any computer with Internet Explorer installed on it is a potential viewing station for image studies from the PACS.

Outside the facility, ConnectWeb has customization features that make it easy to use for referring physicians or facility personnel needing access to studies outside the facility. Compression can be set by modality, by user, to give the fastest possible download times while maintaining image quality. In addition, users can be given full or restricted access to studies, so that HIPAA compliance and privacy of patient information can be maintained.

Finally, it is possible to configure ConnectWeb to work with many Electronic Medical Record systems so that studies can be accessed directly, without requiring a separate logon and database search for the study.
