CT, MR, Breast Tomosynthesis, Cardiac Echo, and other imaging studies continue to grow larger while many organizations are still relying on CDs and DVDs to deliver diagnostic images.
There’s a better way.
DMC-EZ™ DICOM USB Station provides a practical path beyond traditional optical media, giving healthcare organizations the ability to distribute diagnostic-quality DICOM studies on high-capacity USB media without abandoning the PACS workflows and infrastructure they already have.
Replace the Disc — Not Your Workflow.
For more than two decades, optical media has been a familiar part of medical image distribution. But today’s imaging studies are increasingly pushing beyond what CDs and DVDs were designed to handle.
Some reasons include: Multiple discs; Longer recording times; Optical drives disappearing from computers; Aging disc-publishing hardware.
DMC-EZ USB changes the equation.
Instead of dividing large studies across multiple discs, authorized staff can retrieve patient imaging directly from PACS or VNA and write the selected studies to high-capacity DICOM USB media.
Built around SST Group’s familiar Search. Select. Distribute.™ workflow, the process remains simple:
Search for the patient. Select the studies. Write to USB.No stack of discs. No multi-disc spanning of studies. No dependence on an optical drive. No need to completely replace your existing workflow.
Just a modern way to distribute DICOM images.
Built for Today’s Large Imaging Studies.
A single CD holds approximately 700 MB. A DVD typically holds 4.7 GB.
Today’s imaging studies can quickly exceed those limits.
Breast Tomosynthesis, Cardiac Echo, CT, MR, and other large or multi-frame studies can require multiple discs, increasing production time and making image distribution more cumbersome for staff and recipients.
The DMC-EZ DICOM USB Station provides the capacity needed for today’s imaging environment, allowing significantly larger studies and collections of studies to be distributed on a single USB device.
For the recipient, USB also provides something increasingly important:
Accessibility.
As optical drives disappear from modern laptops and workstations, USB remains widely available and familiar.
Modernize Without Starting Over.
Moving beyond the disc doesn’t mean every healthcare organization can eliminate optical media overnight.
That’s why the DMC-EZ USB Station is part of the broader DMC-EZ™ Vital Images Platform.
Organizations can modernize at their own pace:
• Deploy high-capacity DICOM USB.
• Keep CD/DVD/Blu-ray where optical media is still required.
• Add secure Virtual Media™ for electronic image delivery.
• Integrate patient-driven image sharing into modern digital workflows.
The distribution method can change without forcing your entire workflow to change.
One Platform. Every Format.
