OptiStorm a Core Component in Medical Imaging Storage

Chicago IL, USA – November 29, 1999

KOM Software today at the 85th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America showcased Medical Imaging Storage solutions utilizing OptiStorm, KOM's Flagship Storage Management application.

"The modern practices of medicine, from small physician's offices to large hospitals all generate tremendous amounts of data (images and text) while consuming inordinate amounts of resources. KOM Software' storage group was formed to offer answers and advice (as well as solutions) to healthcare entities and solution providers wishing to effectively manage their data, reduce consumption of expensive resources, and improve the speed and quality of the medical care they provide" stated Dr. Taher Shaath, Chairman and C.E.O. of KOM Software.

Information from reports to X-ray images is available primarily in a digital format. Moving and accessing this digital information – getting the right information to the right place at the right time requires expert evaluation, strategic planning, implementation management and configuration management.

"At KOM Software, the urge to "go Digital" isn't based on following the latest trend, but on a commitment to providing customers with the option to use advanced technology to improve patient care and management costs. Digital Storage technology enables us to improve the quality and lower the costs of every step along the image management chain – from capture and display through storage and retrieval" stated Shaath.

"KOM Software is positioned to assist our customers in establishing storage systems and helping these customers with the associated improvements in their healthcare data management and storage practices. As the term "PACS" means many things to many people; we at KOM Software define PACS as "Picture" image acquisition and display, "Archiving" (storage) of the digital information and "Communication System" of distributing the image information across both wide and local area networks. As the global leader in digital radiography archiving and PACS storage we strive to provide a comprehensive cost-effective solution of medical imaging storage to the world" he continued

The performance and functional requirements define the specifications for Image archiving.
