Mammography studies can bring challenges for
your medical facility that can hinder workflow. Aside from being large file
sizes, they need FDA approval, and anyone working with them must be in
compliance with the Mammography Quality and Safety Act. The Act defines the
type of equipment they can be read upon and puts parameters on how long they
have to be saved. When it comes to 3D mammography data storage, the
challenges can be daunting.
One of the unique things about 3D mammography data storage is that unlike many
other studies, these have to be matched against one or two previous exams. When
you consider the large file sizes of these exams, storage and access becomes
more of a challenge. That’s why it is key that you find a cloud vendor that
offers an easy way to gain access to older files and provides the volume of
storage you need for data.
Cloud-Based Solutions
Your cloud-based vendor should be able to provide adequate storage space so
you can have the flexibility you need to grow. As you know, mammogram reading
requires certification beyond the traditional FDA requirements, so make sure
your provider offers an integrated medical image viewer that is FDA approved
for diagnostic use in mammography.
For fast retrieval of mammography files, your cloud-based vendor should offer
compression tools that will make it much speedier to work with than raw images
alone. It is important to find lossless compression, because you want to be
able to compress and decompress your images.
MAMMO Viewing
At OffSite Image Management, we
give our customers the best mammography viewing and 3D mammography data storage
options, specifically suited for critical care and rural hospitals, clinics and
specialty hospitals.
Our MAMMO solution includes advanced processing features, like reference lines
between MLO and CC images; reference lines between MG and US; tomosynthesis
cine + MIP creation and mammography CAD support of virtually any vendor.
We know that having technical support is important, which is why our clients
come to us for our administration services. We go the extra mile, providing
semantic interoperability, which allows for optimal on-screen hanging, but it
also will automatically flip Hologic Tomo and MG studies. For quick and easy
luminance of the breast tissue, we offer an implant blocker, which will allow
the eye to adapt to the image.
Most readings involve the latest exam, plus the previous two, but OffSite
offers hanging protocols that allow up to four high resolutions displays.
