Krucom PACS Migration
Krucom provides PACS migration services for transferring diagnostic images and related data between archives. Our knowledge and migration tools are valuable assets through all phases of a successful migration, giving your project a head start.
Assessment
The first stage of a migration project is to assess the systems and requirements involved. Some of the aspects we evaluate are:
- What needs to be migrated?
- Which transfer methods are suitable?
- Is there proprietary data that requires conversion?
- Project timeframe?
Based on the results we present a solution for the migration of e.g. images, overlays, presentation states and reports.
Transfer
Krucom Mover is the application that drives the migration. It maintains a database with all the data to be moved and registers progress. Various options can be added for e.g.
- RIS validation – make sure patient and study data match
- RIS Prioritisation – scheduled patients’ priors are prioritised
- Data conversion – typically Krucom Converter can be used to modify images and ensure compatibility with the destination archive
Verification
When the transfer is complete all anomalies are evaluated and appropriately processed. Finally, the archives are compared to verify that all data is accounted for.
Customisation
Flexibility is an important factor to be able to fulfil individual client needs and requests. Customisation is readily available from Krucom’s team of experienced developers. Our standard migrations tools are combined with customised components to assemble a tailored migration system.
