PACS (SRV)
Archiving server is the central program of the system, which performs most of its functions. It consists of a database server (PostgreSQL) and an acquisition module that communicates with DICOM diagnostic devices.
Server work is done automatically, without the need for intervention and operation. The server performs a backup of the collected data and prepares the archives for archiving on BlueRays, DVDs, HDDs, and more.
The most important functions of the archiving server
-
Central User Management and System Event Monitor, administration panel, permissions management, login policies management (creating security policy), etc.
-
Digesting exams from diagnostic devices for short and long term archiving (DICOM protocol).
-
Support for Modality Performed Procedure Step - MPPS functionality (DICOM standard) that enables communication with the device via the Modality Worklist, providing feedback on current status or progress of the transferred exam.
-
Prefetching exams from the LTO library, downloading the study to the online archive (short-term, fast access) at the time of patient registration.
-
Remote downloading exams from LTO library, on doctor's request

Backup of long-term archive (LTO)
-
Archiving patient administrative and meta data, exams with its' description and other non-medical data
-
Importing DICOM external exams from patients' CD
-
Fully automated burning of CD's in background
-
Automated eksport data to diagnostic workstations, servers, web services and other
-
DBburn - remote requesting a CD burning from external system (RIS/HIS) without a need to transfer the exam. ArPACS compile a CD downloading all items from it's archive. Thanks to that, a numerous big data don't overload local network and speeds up the process.

-
Auto PUSH >> allows to set a rules to auto transferring data to another server (such as long therm archive storage)
-
Auto GET << allows to schedule downloading exams that follows selected criteria. It enables synchronization between servers.
