Without images there is no report! Operational reliability of the core components is thus essential. Using a server architecture ensures that if a server (cluster server) drops out there will be no deterioration in work. Modern SAN technology (Storage Area Network) is also used in the field of storage. Continuous, round-the-clock operation is thus guaranteed.

Special lossless data compression methods enable direct fast retrieval of image data over the network. With an on-demand system all the images can be called up at any workstation at any time, without any complicated routing rules or elaborate logistics. This ensures that the reporting doctor always has all the current data at his fingertips as well as all the necessary previous reports and images for purposes of comparison.

In a heterogeneous environment with different information systems, functioning interfaces between them represents an integral part of an efficient system as a whole.
Seamless integration with the Hospital Information System (HIS) can only be achieved with professional interfaces that are based on industrial standards.

The clinician is provided with all the relevant data of the radiological examination using web technology. Immediate availability of data ensures that the patient derives maximum benefit from the technological developments. In the clinical field, availability of all information is often crucial. As the WEB server communicates with the main server directly without any intermediate storage of its own, previous reports are always on hand.

Due to more and more new developments in radiography units the radiologist is confronted with a data explosion that is difficult to cope with. The 3-dimensional display of bones, organs, and vessels supplements 2-dimensional display while pathological changes are thus visualized better and are easier to detect.

We talk seven times faster than we type. The transcription of dictated texts takes a lot of time, which could be spent more usefully. Integrated speech recognition converts dictations to text in real time. Subsequent finalization of the documents takes much less time than it used to.
Complete integration of speech recognition into the Centricity RIS-PACS system facilitates the process cycle and has speeded up the reporting process considerably.
If reports are available sooner, targeted treatment for our patients‘ disorders can commence earlier.
