Mary Esther, Florida - November 9th, 2009 – QStar Healthcare, the medical technology division of QStar Technologies Inc, a global leader in archiving and CD/DVD publication, today announced that it will be debuting its new vendor-independent SntryDICOM archive appliance and showcasing the new version of DICOM Publisher with advanced CD and DVD encryption capabilities at RSNA 2009. Held Nov 29th to Dec 4th in Chicago, RSNA 2009 is the 95th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. As the world’s largest radiological conference and trade show with delegates from every continent, RSNA is the ideal platform for QStar Healthcare to highlight the flexibility and cost savings offered by a SntryDICOM image archive, and the image security provided through the new advanced encryption features of DICOM Publisher.
SntryDICOM provides a vendor independent, and storage technology neutral image archive solution with a fully compliant DICOM 3.0 interface. Rooted in QStar’s enterprise archive platform, SntryDICOM manages the lifecycle of images across multiple storage tiers, creating the foundation for a resilient 3-2-1 archive1 strategy. The new solution provides a platform that helps maintain archive continuity as older PACS systems are replaced. A SntryDICOM deployment can reduce the need for disruptive and costly image migration and facilitates the sharing of archived images between multiple PACS systems, independent of the physical storage technology.
The new release of DICOM Publisher includes sophisticated AES encryption that protects the security of all images written to CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray media which may be provided to patients or distributed internally within a medical facility. Access to encrypted images can only be gained using a unique media password (PIN) or through a trusted third party via a public key / private key infrastructure (PKI). QStar Healthcare is the only company today that supports all of the leading CD/DVD/ BD replication systems and can offer two different encryption options for medical image publication, helping hospitals and clinics protect sensitive personal information while meeting their legal obligations for digital data protection.
“We believe that our timing for the release of SntryDICOM couldn’t be better,” commented Riccardo Finotti, CEO of QStar. “Many medical facilities are going through their second or third generation PACS and have already experienced a disruptive archive migration as they move from one vendor to another. SntryDICOM is designed to reduce this painful process while providing a foundation for ongoing continuity. Combine this with QStar’s advanced storage capabilities and SntryDICOM offers a unique solution that is both PACS and storage neutral.”
“With the pervasiveness of digital imaging there is a growing need for improved data security,” explains Nancy Fisher, CEO of Data Distributing, a strategic channel partner for QStar. “Many countries in Europe already have legislation in place mandating the encryption of medical images that are distributed to patients or shared internally. It’s clear from our customers that image encryption is quickly becoming a universal requirement, and the new release of DICOM Publisher with advanced encryption puts QStar Healthcare well ahead of the curve.”
