ABOVE 2000
By introducing comprehensive standards for handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical images, DICOM revolutionized the world of healthcare. Thanks to DICOM, the PACS that you use has the potential to deliver any image – anytime, anywhere. Provided you can tackle the issues along the way.
Issues in medical imaging
The issues are many. Huge images pose big storage problems. These images also have to make their way through limited bandwidth, without losing data integrity. To comply with legal requirements, images have to be stored for several years. Newer developments - like growing complexity in imaging, use of colour, application of 3D and innovations in the business model add to the challenge. What’s more, tighter integration, within and between organizations and across specialties, is still a long way away.
IT infrastructure – under pressure
As a result of all this, the IT infrastructure of healthcare providers is under tremendous pressure. Worse still, the typical strategy of increasing network capacity is making less and less sense. Is there a way out? More importantly, is there a way forward?
The ABOve 2000 platform
Built exclusively for medical imaging, ABOve 2000 is a powerful ABO-based platform that addresses today’s concerns and actualizes tomorrow's possibilities. Riding on ABO's superior data compression and reorganization capabilities, ABOve 2000 offers the following benefits:
Lossless to lossy scalability from a single compressed file also referred to as embedded coding.
Highly optimized data and image management.
Savings in storage (online and offline).
Savings in bandwidth utilization.
Greater security.
Flexible user experience.
Interoperability, business continuity and grid enabling.
Improved turn-around times and productivity.
Scaleable platform architecture.
Better ROI from existing IT infrastructure.
Region of interest decoding.
ABOve 2000 also provides advanced pixel intelligence progressive transmission using a client/server protocol called MVPIP.
ABOve 2000-based products
A partner of DICOM, MatrixView offers the Data Optimizer – a product designed to optimize your DICOM world. Cimar Medical Networks (a MatrixView subsidiary) offers the MATRiXiti suite, comprising PACStream and EchoPACStream.
These SDKs integrate seamlessly with your existing hospital information system (HIS), deliver lossless compression, offer a greater compression ratio, speed up transmission of high fidelity medical images over disparate bandwidths and optimize medical imaging. Importantly, the SDKs offer never-before versatility, fidelity and efficiency.
SQZit
Applying compression to even one aspect at an enterprise-level delivers amazing benefits. Doing so as an integral and all-pervasive part of enterprise content management (ECM) is many times more profitable. Either way, SQZit offers the best returns. Consider the latter case. Without ECM, it would be impossible to manage the volume and variety of content that enterprises generate these days.
Be it the management of your documents, digital assets, web content, records or workflow-related processes, ECM can handle it all. And, when ECM goes hand in hand with a strong information lifecycle management strategy, the results can be excellent. No wonder businesses are beginning to see ECM as a core investment.
ECM - the missing link
With ECM being such a critical activity, businesses need to ask whether they are getting the best out of their ECM? The answer is no because ECM doesn’t adequately address one aspect central to content management – the data around which the ECM is built. At best, ECM throws in a compression component, reducing storage and increasing transmission speed. However, the truth is compression alone can’t do enough for ECM.
SQZit - the answer
Built on ABO - MatrixView’s revolutionary technology - SQZit reorganizes your data at a fundamental level and transforms ECM. A powerful compression engine, SQZit optimizes every aspect of ECM - capture, storage, security, transmission, retrieval and use - and delivers a whole lot of benefits. SQZit is a composite collection of ABO’s data-specific compression engines powered by a data intelligent wrapper which chooses the appropriate engines based on the data.
Besides, Matrix View offers SQZit in a flexible manner and makes it possible to tap the benefits for very specific applications. For instance, email vendors would be interested in features like JPEG Recompression, while internet accelerators could benefit from text compression. While SQZit is a perfect fit for EIM solutions, it has equally important applications in other areas - audio, video and other digital forms. SQZit delivers the following benefits:
Lossless compression.
Highly optimized data and image management.
Savings in storage (online and offline).
Savings in bandwidth utilization.
Greater security.
Flexible user experience.
Interoperability, business continuity and grid enabling.
Improved turn-around times and productivity.
Scaleable platform architecture.
Better ROI from existing IT infrastructure.
SQZit SDK - a SQZit-based ECM suite
The SQZit SDK is designed to integrate into EIM solutions and products. With the SQZit SDK, ABO-compression can be used to drive every aspect of EIM - capturing, storing, processing and collation. What’s more, it is possible to do so for all types of data content. Most importantly, the SQZit SDK can be customized to reflect business logic of enterprises and integrates with other enterprise systems - from databases to ERPs.
