Radiology informatics firm Aycan Medical Systems plans to highlight a work-in-progress mobile iPad application at the upcoming RSNA 2011 meeting.
The app can quickly and securely transfer DICOM images from hospitals and imaging centers to on-call and other radiologists and referring physicians, the company said. The application has received the European CE Mark and is pending clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The application can be used with the company's OsiriX Pro workstation software and includes features such as lossless JPEG2000 compression and automatic 256-bit AES encryption. It also includes a feature Aycan has developed in partnership with monitor developer Eizo Nanao Technologies that allows users to connect an iPad to larger medical monitors for higher-resolution viewing while still using the iPad.
Aycan will also highlight aycan store, a vendor-neutral DICOM archiving and distribution system that can now be combined with MedQ's Q/ris 3000 software. The company will also showcase updates to its OsiriX Pro workstation, including FusionSync, Chimaera's software tool for multimodality image fusion.
