Gateway Router (DICOM)

Overview

Gateway Router can receive DICOM images from modalities, workstations, and PACS and send them to one or more destinations. Gateway Router can communicate with the secure DICOM TLS protocol, so it can transmit to another Gateway Router securely over the Internet.

Gateway Router can also be used as an archive and is limited only by hardware as to how much data it can store.

What makes Gateway Router different?

Ramsoft believes that a DICOM Gateway Router should be secure, easy to use, and stable. That is why they have designed and built the Gateway Router – the only secure HIPAA compliant DICOM router and archive.
 

Online DICOM Archiving

The Gateway Router is also a fully featured Online DICOM Archive. Since its powerful PACS engine was designed to store, retrieve, and archive hundreds of thousands of studies per year, it was only natural for us to pass this technology onto you.

SQL Database

In the past, SQL databases were reserved for high performance PACS and RIS systems. This trend paved the way for sluggish archives and routers. We changed this poor pattern by giving our Gateway Router a full SQL backend.

Enterprise Grade DICOM Engine

Gateway Router is based on our tried and tested enterprise grade PowerServer PACS technology, ensuring the reliability you expect from medical applications.

Up and running in less than 5 minutes

We designed our Gateway Router with simplicity in mind. Installation and setup are quick and painless, allowing you to get on with your day instead of dealing with pesky IT issues.

Auto Images Compression

Breathe new life into your modalities that do not support image compression. By routing your images through the Gateway Router, you will be able compress your data using the latest in JPEG image compression.

Automatic Prior Exam Routing

If you ever need to route priors along with new incoming exams, Gateway Router is your answer. As long as your exams are stored on a DICOM compliant device, the Gateway Router can automatically fetch the studies and send them out to any destination. This gives any PACS prior pre-fetching capabilities.

 

Concerned About HIPAA and Security?

The Gateway Router fits right into your secure infrastructure and gives you peace of mind instead of exposing security holes.
 

TLS Encryption

Unlike many other router vendors out there, we have taken great care to make sure that your data remains secure during transitions. Full TLS encryption secures communication over the Internet to all other compliant devices. DICOM communication is encrypted and authentication is done using SSL keys and certificates.

Security Audit Trails

The audit trail mechanism gives you the power to know where your studies are, and what they are doing – an essential element in maintaining HIPAA compliance.

 

Other Important Features

Edit Demographics

Patient demographics and study information can be edited right from the router’s easy-to-use search screen. This allows for quick and simple correction of common mistakes.

Send and Receive from an Unlimited Number of Devices Simultaneously

Gateway Router can handle any number of connected devices. By using true multi-threading technology, the load a router can handle is only limited by the hardware and bandwidth it is running on.

Automatic Window/Level and Filtering

W/L using the histograph method can be applied onto images as they are sent thought the router. Filters, such as the Median filter, can be used to remove grid lines and noise.

Automatic DICOM Field Mapping

The Gateway Router eliminates those unreliable DICOM mapping scripts and unmanaged third-party solutions.

Schedules VCR Style Routing

The Gateway Router’s routing mechanism is so flexible that it allows you to virtually do anything you can imagine. You can route studies by Status, Modality, Faculty, Physicians, Times, Dates, and many other DICOM tags.
