Archiving Radiology Images for Long-Term Retention
Radiology departments must archive diagnostic images for regulatory retention periods (5-10+ years). DICOM exports are large and need to be converted to standardized formats and compressed for cost-effective long-term cold storage.
ワークフロー
- Export images from the PACS system in the highest available quality
- Use the Image Converter to save in standard archival formats (TIFF for lossless, JPEG for compact)
- Use the Image Compressor at lossless or near-lossless settings for archival quality
- Use the Image to PDF Converter to bundle related series (e.g. all views from one exam) into a single document
- Use PDF Metadata Editor to tag with patient ID, exam date, modality, and reading physician
- Transfer the archived files to cold storage with proper indexing for retrieval
