DICOM Normalization

PROBLEM: DICOM Normalization

SOLUTION: Keystone Engine

At the core of disparate PACS interoperability is the ability to normalize DICOM between PACS systems. From translating study descriptions and modality types, to ensuring accession numbers are unique between systems, DICOM normalization may be enabled within the imaging workflow capabilities of the Keystone Engine.

Leverage Keystone Engine during a migration to ensure clean data is being imported into your new PACS, enable images to be translated between systems, and translate and normalize metadata attributes. The reality is that patients do not have a single patient ID across sites, accession numbers are not unique across departments, and study descriptions are inconsistent. DICOM normalization from Keystone Engine provides an easy solution to these common challenges.

As a cornerstone of the Keystone Suite, the Keystone Engine is a medical image workflow engine enabling sharing of medical image data between disparate PACS, imaging modalities, and post-processing workstations.
