A rule-based engine that routes, normalizes, and reconciles your imaging data automatically, so the right study reaches the right place at the right time.

Workflow orchestration for the modern enterprise.

Across a healthcare enterprise, studies have to reach the right destination, in the right format, matched to the right patient. When that work is manual, it slows care and invites error. Technologists match patient and exam information by hand. Radiologists wait on priors. Identifiers drift across distinct EMRs and PACS.

The Mach7 Communication Workflow Engine (CWE) uses a rule-based engine to define how DICOM studies move through your environment. A graphical interface makes every workflow easy to see and easy to manage, and normalization keeps data clean and standards-based, communicated to each destination exactly as that destination needs it. CWE is part of the broader Mach7 Enterprise Imaging Solution, and it can also run stand-alone as a focused routing and normalization tool that drops into the environment you already have.

Granular control, fully in your hands

Individual DICOM header elements trigger workflows, and nested Boolean logic lets you build very granular rules tailored to your requirements. Both public and private tags are supported, with processing rules applied at input or output to satisfy a destination’s transfer syntax or other constraints. Best of all, your local administrator manages it: build new workflows as the organization evolves, or adopt new capabilities like on-prem or cloud-based AI.

Key capabilities

  • Rule-based DICOM routing with nested Boolean logic for highly specific workflows
  • Normalization and tag morphing for both public and private tags
  • Administrator-managed, so your team builds and changes workflows as you grow
  • Define the rule once; CWE applies it consistently and automatically, every time
