PACS accessories firm PACSGear has introduced PACSGear Image Exchange, a cloud-based service that enables medical facilities to upload and exchange medical images.
Designed as a low-cost add-on to the firm's MediaWriter product line, Image Exchange allows users to either burn DICOM studies to CD/DVD media or upload studies to a variety of cloud-based repositories, PACSGear said.
The firm's existing technology had almost all of the critical components in place to enable image sharing; the only challenge was to make the process easy and affordable, PACSGear said. Having the option to burn CDs or DVDs or upload images improves interoperability between healthcare facilities, the company said.
