Flamingo: built to make the imaging systems you already run work together

Platform

Foundation

Everything around the images: your people, what they're allowed to do, and how the system is set up.

• Your database, your choice. It is built to run on SQL Server or PostgreSQL, on Windows or Linux.
• Your data center or the cloud. It is built to run on premises or in the cloud.
• Sign-in options. Your staff can sign in with Active Directory, or with single sign-on through Microsoft Entra.
• Read-only when you want it. Permission to view is separate from permission to make changes.
• Sign-ins and settings changes, on record. Sign-ins and configuration changes are recorded.

Why it matters: Flamingo is built to run on the databases, operating systems and sign-in services your IT team may already use.

Data and storage

Storage

Your images are stored in standard formats, so they stay yours.

• No proprietary format. Images are stored in standard formats, with no proprietary format of our own.
• Keep them where you choose. Keep them on your own servers, in Amazon S3 or AWS HealthImaging, in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or Microsoft Azure storage, or in a mix.
• Room to grow. Add storage locations after deployment.
• Built for very large files. It is built to stream image files of 4 GB and up instead of holding them in memory.
• Less room on disk. A modern compression standard, High-Throughput JPEG 2000, helps images take up less room.

Why it matters: Your images aren't locked in a format of our own, so what happens to them next stays your choice.

Applications

Worklists

See which studies are coming due, early.

• Your priorities, your targets. Your team sets the priority levels and a turnaround target for each.
• A clock on each study. Each study shows how much time it has left.
• Early alerts. Studies getting close to their target are flagged early, without changing the priority you set.
• A detailed audit trail. Configuration changes, actions taken on each study, and study views are recorded.

Why it matters: Studies nearing their targets are flagged at a lead time your team chooses, so the pressure shows before a target passes.

Worklists orders studies by the priorities and rules your team sets. Mach7 does not analyze images or clinical content to rank studies.

Archive access

Flow

Find a study across the whole archive, then act on it right there.

• Search that goes deep. You can search the whole archive on more than 20 study fields.
• Open it your way. You can open a study in the viewer you prefer.
• Move it where it belongs. Copy or move it to other storage, or send it to another DICOM system.
• Check the study's details. View its DICOM header, the descriptive information stored inside each image file.

Why it matters: The Archive Browser is where you find a study and act on it.

Operations

Sonar

A monitoring dashboard that shows IT teams how the imaging platform is performing and where attention is needed.
