BH PACStore®: PACS Archiving

BH PACStore is a solution for managing the long-term storage and retrieval of PACS imaging data to create a robust, flexible and cost effective enterprise DICOM storage infrastructure.

A vendor-neutral PACS archiving solution, BH PACStore can accept content from any DICOM source and make that available to any PACS system or workstation that supports DICOM.

With BH PACStore, healthcare organizations can automatically retain PACS data in several geographical locations to dramatically improve business continuity and use the most cost-effective storage systems, including offline storage.

BH PACStore is validated with PACS applications from Agfa, GE Medical, Fuji, Sectra, Siemens and others.

Migrating PACS data?  PACS data migration is a challenge for any organization that manages PACS data, whether changing PACS vendors or simply refreshing the storage infrastructure. BH PACStore addresses the data migration challenge and eliminates the need for future migrations.

The addition of the secure PACStore Web Access module provides convenient centralized access to DICOM images regardless of their source.

PACStore features two interfaces to meet the needs of different organizations.

  • The File Interface can locate any DICOM content (not limited to .dcm files) on the primary storage system. Based on the organization’s policies, PACStore identifies the type of file as well as its ‘value’ and determines whether it can be moved, copied or archived and/or deleted from primary storage.
  • The DICOM Storage Interface, which incorporates a fully featured DICOM storage class server (SCP and SCU), works alongside the File Interface and allows for a more centralized archiving infrastructure for the future. The DICOM server is PACS vendor-independent so that any PACS System that supports DICOM deep archiving can send and request content from the PACStore DICOM Server. Therefore, regardless of the PACS tool currently in place – or acquired in the future – PACS data is held safely, centrally and cost-effectively.
BH PACStore creates a unified PACS repository, reduces storage costs, improves disaster recovery, and helps organizations to meet compliancy requirements
