WALTHAM, Mass. -- Fixed Content Archiving Solution Helps Doctors and Other Healthcare Professionals to Capture, Safely Store, Quickly Search and Retrieve As Well As, Distribute Medical Images

Archivas(TM), Inc., the leading provider of fixed content archiving solutions, today announced it will demonstrate its Archivas Cluster (ArC(TM)), the leading content aware storage (CAS) solution for Picture Archive Communication System (PACS) data, at the PACS 2006 6th Annual Conference, taking place March 14 - 17, 2006 at The Westin Riverwalk Hotel, San Antonio, Texas.

The Archivas demonstration will highlight ArC's ability to deliver an active long-term archive that helps doctors, scientists and other healthcare professionals to efficiently, safely and cost effectively store, manage and retrieve documents and images.

Said Mark Moroses, director of technical services/security officer M.I.S. department at Maimonides Medical Center, an Archivas customer, "Archivas ArC has met all of our stringent requirements, for example the ability to automatically read DICOM headers across millions of files in the archive - such as CT-scans, MRIs and other medical information and images - in order to auto-set appropriate retention periods. This is important not only from an internal needs standpoint, but critical in order to meet stringent HIPAA regulations. Moreover, the ArC solution has also allowed for seamless access of data through PACS applications, along with easy management of this information using simple file commands and scripting. Delivered as an appliance with a completely open architecture, it will allow us to protect our current investment in technology as well as provide complete flexibility in terms of future purchases."

"The ability to capture, store and distribute medical images, as well as ensure integration and interface with other clinical systems, is at the core of any effective PACS implementation. Archivas ArC has met with great success in the medical space because in addition to helping to facilitate these capabilities, it enables the ability to achieve true automation of these processes, and perhaps more importantly, it delivers the ability to quickly search and index PACS images, guarantees the images are always safe and authentic, and delivers these capabilities in a self-configuring, self-healing appliance that allows for virtually limitless scalability," said Jeff Spotts, vice president of marketing for Archivas. "We are delighted to have this opportunity to speak with the doctors, radiologists and other healthcare practitioners attending this conference, to learn more about the challenges they face in this regard, as well as how Archivas can help."

This year's PACS 2006 conference, presented by The Department of Imaging Sciences at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, is entitled, "Digital Healthcare Information & Management Systems (DHIMS)." It will stress the fundamentals of implementing both data and image information management systems in DHIMS, with special attention being given to ergonomics and workflow in radiology and cardiology environments.
