Healthcare Industry：Cloud Engine Overturn Traditional PACS

If you know medical information, even a little, you must have heard of HIS and PACS.

        What is PACS? It is English full name is Picture Archiving and Communication Systems, which meaning imaging archiving and communication system.

        Nowadays, CT, nuclear magnetism and other medical image equipment all can produce massive image data. Doctors need to search and use the image data and then to diagnosis with patient. But there is unsettled question and put a high request for final terminal is that how to storage, use and transmit massive image data and how to apply it.

Today, PACS in the YeDong Huang eyes, Xi'an AccuRad Network ＆Technology Co.Ltd chairman, Communication turns Cloud and Computing. The Chinese meaning is the image cloud archive computing system. (Source: Blue Whale TMT)

        What is the concept?

“The future of image not according to transfer but to calculate”, YeDong Huang said, “ Our core technology comes from iMAGES engine, and thus we will can not use the method‘not transfer image ’to solve the problems.

It is said that not to look not to know, look frighten jump. Xi'an AccuRad Network ＆Technology Co.Ltd vice-president HaoLiang Li show how to use AccuRad iMAGES medical image apply system to people. It can real-time and fluency display the human 3D skeleton or 3D blood circulation system as same as workstation big screen in the iPad even in smart phones.

"Clinicians can through rotating his image and anchor position, directly to locate the patient's lesions in the three-dimensional image. No matter it is in the coronal, sagittal view or axial three 2D images.” Li HaoLiang Li said. Meanwhile, AccuRad also can provide “1:1 operation mode” which will to realize the recovery of human anatomy. For the doctor, enter the operation mode can simulate the operation close to the real through pad demonstration, which not only greatly facilitate the operation of doctors also can make the doctor communicate with their families in preoperative. It is convenient to operation plan choice and decide.

Traditionally, due to the problem of bandwidth, hospital images are used under the WLAN, and also because the amount of data makes it slow transmission, and can not be applied to mobile terminals. Such as PAD or mobile phones. Traditional PACS applications encountered a lot of troubles.

    However, Xi’an AccuRad iMAGES engine to solve image application problem. According to he author’s understanding, iMAGES engine can process medical image according to advanced processing algorithm, which can realized the 3D reconstruction and deconstruction of image. Bur the deconstruction of data as same as transfer password to achieve lightweight data and really cloud calculate application. It is introduced that iMAGES image SyncML required bandwidth is only 2M.

    It should be said that the development of the information industry application, in the Internet and cloud mode, really has unlimited imagination - the idea of Xi'an AccuRad make the author brain open. In particular, it is known that Xi'an AccuRad iMAGES engine has been surpassed Germany Siemens, the United States GE, the Netherlands Philips technology, which also allows the author to believe that the Internet and industry own let the Chinese enterprises to achieve the feasibility of turning overtaking. Of course, AccuRad technology and model can really bigger and stronger, but also depends on the construction of the ecological circle, as well as medical users open mind.

Xi’an AccuRad already collaborate with Microsoft Azure. Therefore, doctors can according to cellular 3G network to realize all operate. The hospital can backup the data into Azure, making the hospital reduce a lot of image storage hardware investment and maintenance costs. And Azure cloud with ease of deployment, security and stability advantages, which make the customer hospital can rest assured that the patient image data on the Azure cloud to save and backup.

    In addition, Xi'an AccuRad also provides private and hybrid cloud deployments ways. Such as images server engine, advanced cloud image data center iMAGES high performance cluster and so on.At the same time, through the storsimple thermal data is stored in the internal hospital convenient for doctors to use images in the hospital, the doctor can through the Azure cloud at any place and any time, use the any mobile device access to the full set of image sequence of the doctor under the jurisdiction of the patient.

Currently, Xi’an AccuRad technology with a number of domestic hospitals have reached a cooperation intention and has completed the deployment. In December last year, the domestic wisdom and rapidly developed city, Wuxi government achieve cooperation. For Wuxi provide solution method of healthcare.

“Our client is currently come from three classes.” YeDong Huang said, “The first is the government to pay. In some government projects, I provide the supercomputer center for the government; Second is the hospital, especially the clinical imaging, we directly sell to the hospital as way of equipment; Third is doing business plan including electronic medical records PACS, we give the PACS company to provide the engine and to help them industrial upgrading. In a embedded way to participate in system, and then the manufacturer is our client.”

    To YeDong Huang, the most important customers is the third classes. It is said that Xi’an AccuRad start to deploy image cloud of open Internet platform, which indirectly faced with doctors or hospital, but for electronic medical record or PACS developers.

    In the future, Xi’an AccuRad also plan to the technology for ordinary patient. At that time, patient cannot to carry their image film to look for doctor. They can use a QR node make the doctor check their image film in any place.

     It should be said that the original data barriers are more obvious medical information industry has emerged a new model, such as Xi'an AccuRad technology such as ISV or program providers, which is the Internet and cloud era unique subversive innovation industry changes.
