Toronto, ON (PRWEB) March 20, 2007

RamSoft announced the release of Gateway Router, an enterprise grade solution for secure DICOM routing and archiving. Gateway Router is currently available for purchase through RamSoft's new online e-store at a special introductory price and includes online support.

Gateway Router is the only stand-alone DICOM router and archive combination that enables secure transition of data across the internet. Based on RamSoft's enterprise grade DICOM and SQL engine, the router can handle large volumes of data from an unlimited number of sources and route with the reliability that organizations come to expect from mission critical applications.

"Imaging centers and hospitals are looking for applications that simply plug into their current IT infrastructure and offer the security, reliability and manageability their organizations require," said Michal Szabla, Vice President for RamSoft Inc. "With the Gateway Router, our customers can tap into innovative routing and archiving technologies at a lower cost than that of competing solutions."

Features unique to Gateway Router include:

Online DICOM Archiving

The Gateway Router is also a fully featured Online DICOM Archive. Since its powerful PACS engine was designed to store, retrieve, and archive hundreds of thousands of studies per year, it was only natural for us to pass this technology onto you.

SQL Database

In the past, SQL databases were reserved for high performance PACS and RIS systems. This trend paved the way for sluggish archives and routers. We fixed this by giving our Gateway Router an integrated SQL server.

Enterprise Grade DICOM Engine

Gateway Router is based on our tried and tested enterprise grade PowerServer PACS technology, ensuring the reliability you expect from medical applications.

Automatic Prior Exam Routing

If you ever need to route priors along with new incoming exams, Gateway Router is your answer. As long as your exams are stored on a DICOM compliant device, the Gateway Router can automatically fetch the studies and send them out to any destination. This gives any PACS prior pre-fetching capabilities.

TLS Encryption

Unlike many other vendors, we have taken great care to make sure that your data remains secure during transmission. Full TLS encryption secures communication over the Internet to all other compliant devices.

Security Audit Trails

The audit trail mechanism gives you the power to know where your studies are, and what they are doing -- an essential element in maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Gateway Router comes with these standard features:

Schedules VCR Style Routing

The Gateway Router's routing mechanism is so flexible that it allows you to do virtually anything you can imagine. You can route studies by Status, Modality, Facility, Physicians, Times, Dates, and many other DICOM tags.

Auto Image Compression

Breathe new life into your modalities that do not support image compression. By routing your images through the Gateway, you will be able compress your data using the latest in JPEG image compression.

Edit Demographics

Patient demographics and study information can be edited right from the router's easy-to-use search screen. This allows for quick and simple correction of common mistakes.

Send and Receive from an Unlimited Number of Devices Simultaneously

Gateway Router can handle any number of connected devices. By using true multi-threading technology, the load a router can handle is only limited by the hardware and bandwidth it is running on.

Automatic Window/Level and Filtering

Histogram based window and level can be applied onto images as they are sent thought the router. Filters, such as the Median filter, can be used to remove grid lines and noise.

Automatic DICOM Field Mapping

The Gateway Router eliminates those unreliable DICOM mapping scripts and unmanaged third-party solutions.

To provide more options and value to customers, Gateway Router is available in a variety of purchase packages. These value packs allow organizations which require large numbers of DICOM routers/archives to enjoy substantial saving over our suggested retail price as well as support and integration options not available in low volume purchases.
