Taalus supports the following elements and protocols:

Modality Connectivity

Typically all Dry X-ray printers will have a wide array of image producing modalities interfaced to them, e.g. CT, PET/CT, MRI, Ultrasound, CR, DR, Fluoroscopy and Mammography.

CR systems support a range of inputs and outputs. Inputs are in the form of retrieval of patient detail information from hospital R.I.S. / H.I.S. systems.

Host outputs are typically to PACS and PACS Web based backup systems. Printing outputs will also be offered for hardcopy.

Digital Imaging & Communications in Medicine (DICOM)

DICOM is the industry standard for handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information between medical imaging equipment and is a communication applications protocol that runs over a TCP/IP network.

DICOM not only ensures against data loss of patient details but also multi- vendor connectivity.

Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)

PACS systems are server-based storage devices for electronic images and patient details. Images can be recalled at any time using DICOM viewing stations, and are typically located on Wards, A & E and in operating theatres.
