We developed the Wirm Application Server and the Vivalog Knowledge Management Framework, a platform for building web-based multimedia clinical applications. We used this technology to develop MyPACS.net, a system for collaborative authoring of case-based medical image repositories.

Key Words: content management, radiology teaching files, medical image repository, PACS, enterprise software. | |
Uses of Technology/Products/Service:
MyPACS.net is being used by thousands of radiologists at over 400 institutions to create a growing repository of teaching file cases. Currently, over 5000 cases have been submitted containing 20,000 images. We also offer a premium enterprise version, which hospitals purchase and deploy behind their firewall, enabling radiologists, pathologists, and other image workers to easily create, search, and manage cases. The system supports role-based policies for importing images from medical systems such as PACS, editing, certifying, and publishing cases.

Prices range from $20,000 to $100,000.
