New scenario:
using Barco's MICB-1340 compression board
Compress your images
Impress with performance
The quick adoption of MDCT, volumetric images and time-series studies has led to
an exponential growth of image data sets in medical imaging. Simultaneously, the
advent of networked EMR systems creates a pull for images from connected devices
across the enterprise. This evolution puts a heavy burden on the hospital’s network
infrastructure and budget.
To overcome the problems associated with large data sets, more and more hospitals
opt for a solution based on central rendering and image streaming over the
network.
Typical scenario:
image streaming across a network
Plugged into the rendering server, Barco's MICB-1340 compression board takes over
the compression task from the CPU. This allows for a compact, cost-effective yet high-
performance image server system. The advanced MICB-1340 performs both lossless
and lossy image compression for a large number of simultaneous users.
