DicomNet is intended to be used for storing and displaying digital images acquired and stored by digital imaging systems on DICOM interchange media. DicomNet reviews images directly from the DICOM storage media (CD-Recordable disks) and can store the images in an archive manager for review on any of the network review stations. The system stores unaltered/uncompressed computer digital data.

DicomNet is composed of the following: Cardiac Review Station, Archive Manager, DLT Drive, Automatic Tape Library, RAID, ATM Switch.

EchoNet is software which runs on Unix workstations. EchoNet is intended to be used for storing and displaying digital imaqes acquired by digital ultrasound imaging systems. EchoNet provides rapid network access to the imagery and patient demographic data stored on a central server. The system retrieves and stores images as unaltered computer data and as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) lossy compressed cine-loops. This dual-path storage system allows for rapid access to high quality compressed images with the original unaltered (losslessly compressed) images available on demand. EchoNet is a scalable network system designed to service customers ranging in size from small departments (with 2 or 3 users) to large hospital networks (with tens of users).

EchoNet is composed of the following: Unix workstation which permits review and diagnosis of EchoNet Client: ultrasound imagery and demographics. This review software provides basic controls such as play/pause, image contrast/brightness and image scaling. The system is capable of displaying two types of stored imagery. High quality JPEG compressed (Q-Factor 75 compression ratio approximately 15 to 1) digital cineloops and unaltered digital cine-loops. The JPEG images are intended for preview and preliminary assessment while the original data is always available on demand. EchoNet Server: Unix workstation based database and image server software combined with a virtual file system. The server is a central archive for imagery and patient information. The EchoNet server may be configured with a variety of mass storage devices. These devices such as hard-disks, optical juke-box libraries and tape libraries provide on-line and archival storage of images.
