SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Medweb, a leading provider of
distributed teleradiology and PACS solutions used around the world, introduces
its first Mobile OR Gateway and Workstation with a DICOM digital video
recorder (DVR), providing a fully integrated DICOM acquisition and viewing
application in a mobile, compact, rugged unit. The Medweb Mobile OR Gateway
and Workstation is being launched at the RSNA 2005 show in Chicago.
As the ultimate in OR PACS solutions, it consists of a small, lightweight,
diskless OR PACS workstation on a steel, ergonomically designed cart that
allows for easy retrieval and display of images from the OR Gateway, or from
any PACS system. The mobile cart has a pneumatic arm that allows the user to
easily position displays to the most convenient height during a patient
procedure. The diskless workstation uses state-of-the-art gigabit networking
to eliminate the unreliability of mounting a disk-based PC on the device,
thereby making it easy and reliable to move from OR to OR between cases
without risk of corrupting the server with multiple reboots as is common with
other solutions.
The workstation features a DICOM DVR, adding the ability to capture analog
streaming video from DICOM or non-DICOM devices and immediately convert them
to DICOM at rates exceeding 30 frames per second at 1k x 1k resolutions. It
can accommodate typical color or grayscale streaming video from high
resolution fluoroscopy, C-Arm, or cardiac ultrasound units, and can capture
and convert still images as well. The diskless capture interface communicates
with the OR Gateway over standard gigabit Ethernet.
A fully Web-based set up allows remote access to the OR Gateway from
multiple imaging devices that may be located in multiple OR suites. The
completely mobile unit is equipped with a 12-hour battery and can use wireless
802.11 networking, with complete encryption.
The server adds MPPS, SC, and IAN, MWL, and QR classes to devices that may
only have support for modality worklist and DICOM store and print.
Medweb, a provider of distributed teleradiology, PACS and telemedicine
solutions since 1992, holds several major patents for web-based medical image
viewing. Its clinical information solutions are built upon public standards
