Overview
This manual provides instructions for operating and maintaining the Cenova Image
Analytics Server in the clinical environment. The server processes mammography
images using proprietary software algorithms.
The Cenova server is a high-performance application server that provides proprietary
software applications to assist radiologists in the analysis of digital mammography
images. Cenova is designed to be used by radiologists working in a hospital, outpatient
clinic, or a breast imaging center. The server also may be used for research-related
activities.
The server can be located in any non-patient environment, provided it is connected to
the mammography network. Once configured, little direct interaction with the server is
necessary. Any interaction is through a user-friendly web browser interface.
DICOM Conventions
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an international standard
used for developing, transmitting, printing, and archiving medical imaging information.
Hologic uses the following DICOM standard designations for digital mammography
images:
•
DICOM Digital Mammography X-Ray Image – For Processing
•
DICOM Digital Mammography X-Ray Image – For Presentation
•
DICOM Secondary Capture Image – Raw C-View
To simplify, this manual shortens these designations to ‘For Processing images’, ‘For
Presentation images’ and ‘Raw C-View images.’
