DeJarnette's Intelligent Router provides sophisticated DICOM study distribution capability. It provides manual routing and three automated routing technologies:
SMR ("Store and Forward" routing) determines the destination of a study by applying routing rules based on metadata in the source data stream. Metadata mapping, addition and substitution rules are supported.
MWR ("Pre-fetch" routing) makes use of a source Modality Worklist provider to determine the studies to route. MWR provides the ability to apply "pre-fetch rules" based on queriable DICOM metadata fields (modality, study date, time, etc), most recent 'N', and date range. QMR ("Nighthawk" routing) makes use of a source Q/R provider to determine the studies to route. QMR makes use of a schedule and queriable metadata fields to determine what to route. In both cases, routed studies are transfered to the destination either via a third party move or a retrieve and store operation (allowing for cascading of the SMR router).
All routers make use of schedule rules and support unlimited multiple input sources and unlimited multiple destinations. Image compression/decompression is provide as an option. The Intelligent Router is available as a turnkey solution or as a PACSwareŽ (software only) solution.
