Import / Export of Medical Imaging Studies

PROBLEM: Importing outside studies

SOLUTION: The Keystone Study Import Utility (SIU)

The Keystone Study Import Utility simplifies the process of importing outside medical imaging studies through an intuitive interface with advanced functions. With the Keystone Study Import Utility, studies may be imported from patient CDs, DVDs, drive locations, and directly from external PACS solutions through standard DICOM communications. After studies are acquired by the Keystone Study Import Utility, the utility can update patient and exam metadata through standard DICOM Modality Worklist (DMWL) queries to your local information system. Based on the results of the query, users can quickly select the appropriate patient and exam data to be systematically updated on the study.

The Keystone Study Import Utility provides an efficient, accurate, and centralized approach to importing outside imaging data.
