Advanced visualization and analysis firm Claron Technology will showcase several new enhancements to its Nil universal viewer at next week's HIMSS meeting in Orlando, FL.
New features include streamlined image and video uploading to electronic patient records, as well as DICOM file streaming capabilities, according to the vendor. The DICOM file streaming functionality supports integration with multiple DICOM archives in a cacheless configuration; data are streamed from a remote PACS or vendor-neutral archive to Nil, which presents the user with the images as they are transferred, Claron said.
Claron has also incorporated support for recently approved DICOM RESTful Web services to provide Web-based connections to medical devices. In addition, Claron will present extensive plug-in-free support for several video formats such as MPEG-4, AVI, and QuickTime, as well as non-DICOM support for native raster formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and PDF. Arbitrary binary objects such as any Microsoft Office and audio file are also now supported by Nil.
