CHICAGO - (RSNA 2010; Booth #8920) - Intuitive Imaging, a picture archive and communication system (PACS) provider, will demonstrate the latest in interactive clinical technology built on network solutions from Allied Telesis Inc., a global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of converged multi-play networks. Two next-generation demonstrations will exhibit real-time 3-D imagery of a human heart bypass operation, as well as radiology demonstrations to illustrate the speed, quality and delivery of medical images.
Due to the large and intricate nature of 3-D image files, medical facilities grapple with the process of transmitting them to their counterparties. Being able to present a unified medical imaging solution that leverages next-generation technology not only creates a more reliable healthcare solution, but provides an improved patient experience, as well as educational and research capabilities for medical professionals. Allied Telesis' advanced network solutions ensure that network resources and applications are always available, with superior high performance features for transmission of medical images. Products that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet ensure maximum data throughput for the core of the network, allowing it to cope with large amounts of stored data, and easily handle any large surges or times of peak demand.
"The typical hospital network requires the bandwidth of 1.2 GB to 1.5 GB, creating a limitation as to how far 3-D imagery can travel over a network. With the Allied Telesis solution, that limitation is now roughly 30 miles. In a medical application, we can now network several hospitals together in a given region and use this technology to train medical staff or exhibit actual operations to be supervised by experts," said Takayoshi Oshima, chairman and CEO of Allied Telesis. "This is one big step forward for the medical field with great implications in quality of care. Our Company's role is to partner with other leaders in the space to create progress in healthcare network technology, and ultimately better healthcare."
A healthcare environment necessitates the ability to prioritize real-time traffic, such as voice and video, and manage network bandwidth allocation. Allied Telesis' healthcare solutions allow medical facilities to harness network technology to enhance the speed and accuracy of all information sharing, collaboration and decision making processes.
"The advent of 3-D technology has changed the way medical images are reviewed and communicated to patients," said J. Martin Pfaff, Ph.D., president of Intuitive. "Timely decision making is critical in providing quality healthcare services, therefore your network must facilitate the effective and efficient transfer of large and complex files, including the ability to handle significant surges in data transfer. Working with Allied Telesis, we are able to ensure that medical professionals receive information in a timely and strategic manner."
Allied Telesis networking technology solutions are uniquely optimized to support real-time, high resolution imaging from PACS, 3-D, cardiology and other high-definition video sources, and to economically provide performance, reliability and security. Transporting images are one of the company's most advanced switches, the Allied Telesis x900 offering high-performance, flexibility and reliability. The x900 series provides fine service provisioning granularity, high availability, and advanced quality of service. All x900 switches incorporate a switching core that yields wire speed IPv4 and IPv6 routing and most switches feature robust hardware with dual hot swappable power supplies.
