DICOM Router

Need to transmit DICOM studies over the Internet with high security? Consider the DICOM Router from Miner Miracles LTD.

While the DICOM standard has produced a new world of integration between DICOM devices, this simple integration often fails when you transmit DICOM studies across the open Internet. For HIPAA compliance, patient data sent using the Internet must be encrypted to prevent hacking and protect the data. With different DICOM systems using different methods of encryption, Internet integration can often be difficult and expensive.

VPN, or Virtual Private Networking, is widely used by us and many others, but some companies do not allow open VPN connections with outside networks due to cost and potential for virus infection.

Your solution is the DICOM Router. Easily installed on your local network, this small server:

• Receives studies from all your DICOM modalities: CR, CT, MR, US, and so on.
• Uses lossless compression to reduce demands on your Internet connection with no loss in image quality.
• Fully encrypts all patient data for HIPAA compliance.
• Transmits your studies to preset destinations.
• Turnkey installation, maintenance and user support.

With the DICOM router installed on sending and receiving networks, installation is simple,  HIPAA compliance is assured and integration with any DICOM device is easy. Ask about our financing and leasing options.

DVD Archive System

Need to archive small volumes of DICOM studies at low cost? Consider the DVD Archive System from Miner Miracles LTD.

Smaller facilities generating 1,000 to 4,000 DICOM studies per year can take advantage of the savings offered by digital archival without the high capital costs associated with traditional PACS systems.

• One DVD at a cost of roughly $0.30 can store up to 700 DICOM studies 20 MB in size using 3:1 lossless compression. Simply copy the DVD for off-site secure storage.
• The archive database writes the oldest studies to DVD, manages and tracks labeling, and prints DVD labels.
• The viewer database maintains thumbnails for all studies. Opening a study archived to DVD requests a specific DVD be inserted into the drive. There is no need to search through DVDs for a specific study.
• DVDs can be burned by an external DVD publishing system with internal printer for automatic labeling. The same system can be used to produce patient CDs.
• Can be supplied with or without teleradiology for remote physician access.
• High reliability systems with enhanced monitors and simple disaster recovery.
• Off-site backup over the Internet adds reliability and improved disaster recovery.
• Turnkey installation, maintenance and user support.
• Large scale PACS systems using spinning media for quick retrieval can be found by clicking here.

We can make these savings available to your facility today. Ask about our financing and leasing options.

Patient CD Burners

Need to hand your patients a CD with their studies, possibly with copies of documents or reports? Consider the Patient CD Burner system from Miner Miracles LTD.

A $0.25 CD is much less expensive than providing films to patients and referring physicians. It is easier to store and replace and, in many cases, more durable than film. For studies generated by DICOM devices, these savings are available today at a low installed cost with special finance and leasing options.

• Patient CDs include a stand-alone image viewer to display your studies on any Windows system. Viewer starts automatically when the CD is inserted.
• Patient CDs can include documents (MS Word, PDF, etc.), scanned documents and other images.
• CDs can be created manually or burned by a DVD publishing system that automatically prints a professional label on the CD. The DVD publishing system can also be used by a DVD Archive System.
• The CD Burner system includes DICOM communication capability. It can receive studies from any DICOM device and automatically burn Patient CDs.
• CDs produced use the DICOMDIR standard. Studies can be imported and read by other DICOM display and archival systems.
• CDs can contain ultrasound motion clips or cardiac cine-loops.
• Turnkey installation, maintenance and user support.
   

DICOM Print Server

Need to save film processing costs by printing high quality images on a standard Windows printer? Consider the DICOM Print Server by Miner Miracles LTD.

With many modalities, such as MR, CT or ultrasound, images do not need to be printed on film to display good image quality. For reporting, referring physician copies or secondary copies, a high quality image on paper is often adequate at much lower cost.

• Receive studies from any DICOM device and automatically print high quality images on any Windows printer.
• Cubic interpolation produces the highest quality image enlargement.
• Special lookup curves can optimize image quality for each modality.
• Automatic selection of a pre-defined printer, paper size and paper tray. For example, all CT images can automatically be directed to printer 2 to print on 8½x11 paper from tray 1.
• Foot notes can be inserted with doctor’s name, department, modality, and so on.
• Print high quality grayscale or color images.

Save on film processing costs today at a low installed cost with special finance and leasing options.

DICOM Worklist Server

Need to reduce typing errors for patient’s name, ID and other important demographics? Tired of searching for typing errors and manually correcting them for PACS and billing operations?  Consider the DICOM Worklist Server by Miner Miracles LTD.

Our goal for each diagnostic facility:
Enter patient demographics only once!  

Stop relying on your technologists to enter patient demographics with exactly correct spelling. In a typical facility, typing errors for patient information costs at least 3-4 days per month in finding orphaned records, manually correcting spelling errors and assuring that these records are correctly processed to the PACS system and billing.

• The DICOM Worklist Server receives text file information from your scheduling or RIS system, parses this data, and makes it available to your modalities.
• Most DICOM modalities, such as CR, CT, MR, and so on, have the ability to request study information by executing a modality worklist query directed to the DICOM Worklist Server. The response to this query automatically loads patient information into the modality controller as pending studies.
• Correct patient information is automatically forwarded from each modality to the PACS and, probably, from the PACS to the billing system. This assures consistent information throughout the entire process.

Stop losing money in billing errors and the time required to correct demographic errors. Ask about our financing and leasing options.

Digitizer/CR Software

Need better DICOM software with advanced functions to acquire images from your CR or digitizer system? Consider CR/digitizer software from Miner Miracles LTD.

You may have an excellent CR or digitizer system, but your control software may have problems. It may use a proprietary format or not be fully DICOM compliant. You may need a better image viewer. You may want more advanced functions, such as DVD archival, patient CDs or even DICOM routing with encryption.

The answer may be improved DICOM acquisition software.

View Server™  Workstations

Converting to CR or fully digital diagnostic images, eliminating films,  can produce a major savings for the radiology department. In the process, your doctors need to see your images. Often, the cost of providing dedicated view stations can be significant. The View Server™ from Miner Miracles LTD can turn every workstation in your facility into an image view station for a fraction of the cost of providing dedicated view stations.

• Convert any workstation to view DICOM studies.
• Monitor quality can be selected from high quality color to near diagnostic quality.
• Multiple monitors are supported.
• Diagnostic quality workstations can also be supplied. Please click here for that section.
