Transforming Image Management with Dedalus and the DeepUnity Suite

Transforming Image Management with Dedalus and the DeepUnity Suite

UKB, a top German hospital, faced fragmented data storage issues. They needed a unified, integrated archive to consolidate all medical imaging data across departments.

“Data was usually stored on CDs or USB hard drives, decentralized and hard to access. The time was ripe for standardization.” – Arkadiusz Drag, Deputy Team Leader of Image Data Management

• Isolated PACS systems
• Unstandardized digital workflows
• Hard-to-access and share medical images

UKB aimed to create a unified archive integrating all medical imaging data and streamlining digital workflows across departments. The goal: eliminate isolated systems for a comprehensive, electronic archive.

UKB selected Dedalus for its proven track record, seamless integration, and innovative technology. They valued Dedalus’s:

• Positive experiences with PACS
• Integration with ORBIS (HIS) and HYDMedia (ECM)
• Unique capability to store both DICOM and non-DICOM data

“It made sense to stay within one system cosmos to ensure seamless integration without interfaces.” – Heiko Niggemeier, Team Leader for Image Data Management

With Dedalus, UKB established a hospital-wide universal image data archive that:

• Integrated all specialties, including ophthalmology and dentistry
• Offered a universal viewer for all data formats
• Enabled swift data access for efficient patient care

“We discussed with chief physicians, attended morning meetings, and went to workstations… users save time and have faster access to images and reports.” – Heiko Niggemeier

With DeepUnity eVNA, UKB:

• Connects 400+ modalities
• Enables seamless image and report access across all clinics
• Facilitates swift specialist consultations and collaboration
