The IBM Medical Imaging Archive portfolio offers a full suite of solutions designed to lower costs and improve patient care by optimizing the capture, storage, distribution and retrieval of medical images. Leveraging breakthrough technologies like grid computing and hierarchical, rules-based storage management, IBM medical imaging archive solutions cost-effectively address information and access challenges. For example, grid technologies can extend workload and information virtualization, enabling easier access to patient images from across the campus.
The IBM Medical Imaging Archive portfolio also addresses the needs of a wide range of medical facilities, including standalone clinics ready to invest in their first PACS application, departments seeking to lower storage costs for an existing PACS and multi-site providers trying to deliver on demand access to patient images across geographically dispersed locations.
