Remote
Definition:
This option is the most comprehensive solution for archiving your digital images. You provide a high-speed Internet connection and DarkHorse takes care of everything else.
Requirements:
High-speed communications (DSL or better) between clinic and hosting
facility (768 upload / 768 download recommended). Digital images must be
DICOM3-compliant.
Advantages:
No purchase of an expensive server required, meaning that you do not have the
upkeep, backup worries, disk space concerns and IT headaches associated with
owning a large server. No expensive PC-based viewing software is needed. All your
data is hosted in an encrypted, secure environment with backup capabilities. This
also allows you to access your images from any computer with an Internet connection,
as well as share your cases with referral veterinarians and/or owners through the DarkHorse
Web site. With the DarkHorse Remote PACS system, you have the ability to connect
several clinics together, so that everyone in the group has access to the images. The
DarkHorse Remote PACS system includes the ability to send your images to board
certified specialists through the DarkHorse Telemedicine platform with the click of a
button.
Disadvantages:
If your network connection has frequent outages, you would be unable to send
exams to the hosting facility or view old exams. Typically, only a few weeks to a few
months are stored on site with the remote model; however, they are always available
online, as long as the network connection is working. |
