Raleigh, NC—Viztek, the radiology solution provider, introduces a new Opal-Forwarder feature for PACS that automatically adjusts all patient demographic fields to DICOM standards on image files received from outside the enterprise. By using conditional rules, the Viztek software is able to identify and modify existing DICOM fields in non-standard image files to match Opal-RAD’s standard data fields.
When using Opal-Forwarder with Opal-RAD PACS, compression allows for studies routing from any DICOM PACS vendor to Opal-RAD at a significantly faster rate. The Forwarder also features a high-level of encryption without VPN access, enhancing the security of the PACS.
Opal-Forwarder identifies errors based on existing data and automatically corrects them to easily fall into existing fields in the PACS. These fields might include facility name, physician name, or patient ID. Steve Deaton, Vice President of Sales for Viztek, explains, “Patient ID, facility, and physician names are often misspelled or placed in non-standard fields when imaging files arrive onsite from other institutions. The new Opal-Forwarder feature recognizes these discrepancies and rapidly standardizes data for faster and easier reconciliation with other patient exams.”
“Opal-Forwarder increases the ease of scrubbing data when importing outside studies, especially priors, with no manual intervention. By using simple coding rules, information can be translated to the appropriate fields in the Viztek user’s PACS,” he adds.
