Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas and DataFirst have launched interoperability and DICOM routing tools for Exa PACS/RIS and Exa Teleradiology customers.
The new offerings are Exa Gateway and Exa DICOM Engine. Both are powered by DataFirst’s Silverback Workflow Engine.
Exa Gateway is a configurable routing solution for simple and complex image routing. Konica Minolta said it supports automated study workflow, study cache for faster resends, and a web-based interface for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
The tool is designed for routing studies to and from other radiology practices. Konica Minolta positioned the product for Exa PACS/RIS and Exa Teleradiology environments.
Exa DICOM Engine is built as an interoperability hub around Silverback’s routing and workflow technology. It includes intelligent prefetch and rules-based processing for defining criteria for message handling and processing.
Teleradiology practices are one intended use case. Konica Minolta said Exa DICOM Engine is suited for organizations managing DICOM workflows with clients.
DataFirst’s Silverback platform includes advanced DICOM routing, HL7 integration, workflow orchestration, and healthcare image data migration capabilities.
Konica Minolta said the partnership is intended to address imaging data-sharing issues across facilities, PACS, and RIS systems in healthcare enterprises.
