Fuji Introduces Off-Site Medical Archiving Service
by Barbara Kram, Editor | August 07, 2006
FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc. has announced the availability of a new Synapse-based off-site medical archiving service. This new managed PACS solution provides safe, secure, off-site storage of radiology data with unlimited 24/7 access and quick and complete recovery in the event of a disaster. Unlike the majority of solutions in the marketplace, Fuji utilizes spinning disk technology (RAID), so users will benefit from faster access to data so that they can restore their systems as quickly as possible.
This comprehensive service was designed to provide the security, reliability and ease-of-use demanded by today's HIPPA-influenced healthcare environment. Based on Fuji's Synapse© technology, this archiving service enables Fuji's PACS customers to take full advantage of this offering by making a simple system configuration change. Users have the ability to back-up the entire system, not just the DICOM images, and, if a study is unavailable locally for any reason, Synapse will automatically retrieve a copy from the data center. Furthermore, the Synapse-based design ensures that facilities with only a single location or limited IT resources can still benefit from the same level of confidence and compliance as larger institutions.
"Fuji provides a tailored solution that readily meets both the IT and financial needs of a rural facility such as ours," said Don Rogers, Director of Radiology for Graham Regional Medical Center, Graham, Texas. "The solution will enable us to be assured that we will have safe, secure copies of all of our clinical studies and PACS data, not just images. And their pay-per-stored exam model with unlimited retrieval access to data ensures it's affordable," he said.
Fuji expects that mammography will be another area that will benefit from this new offering, since the service provides a cost-effective way to have secure, long term storage of images. The service is positioned to be an attractive add-on to the company's recently approved Fuji Computed Radiography for Mammography (FCRm) digital mammography system.
"With the adoption of digital mammography increasing, we expect that this managed service will be an attractive option for the many dedicated mammography facilities that don't have their own IT departments," explained Bob Cooke, Fuji's Executive Director of Marketing and Product Management. "Due to the retention requirements and the large data sizes of mammography studies, having secure, long-term storage of these images is critical."
