BRIT Systems today announced the release of the Roentgen Router, the company’s industry-leading DICOM routing module, for use with any vendor’s DICOM-compliant PACS or teleradiology system.

The Roentgen Router provides auto-routing and prefetching of DICOM studies triggered by information in the exam order and/or study.
“In its original configuration, the Roentgen Router was a module of our web and PACS server,” said Michele Fisher, Vice President of Sales, BRIT Systems. “Based upon industry demand for this highly functional application, we are now launching this product for use with other vendors’ systems. This speaks volumes to BRIT Systems’ open architecture and conformance to industry standards that we have long embraced.”

With the Roentgen Router, system managers build routes based on information within the DICOM header of radiographic images, including body region, modality type and referring physician. Routes are scheduled based on time of day and day of the week. They can also be queued or held and sent at a later time. Prefetching of comparison studies from any DICOM server or archive is further simplified with the Roentgen Router. A maximum number of prefetches can be established and limited by age of the study, modality or body region.

Each route is monitored to facilitate system administration; failure alerts with detailed information can be customized for each site and system manager. Tools within Roentgen Router support the retrying of failed images based upon a pre-determined time frame, which can also be customized per site.

"With the Roentgen Router, sites using PACS other than BRIT's can now take advantage of the power of this routing tool. By using the intelligent prefetching feature of this product, comparison studies can be sent along with the new studies to reading services, allowing them to provide a superior level of care," Fisher added. "Plus, sites using BRIT’s PACS now have a more cost effective and functional method of routing studies to central servers."
