What is AdvaPACS?
AdvaPACS is a cloud-native Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that enables healthcare providers to securely store, manage, view, and distribute medical imaging studies.
Designed as a fully managed cloud platform, AdvaPACS removes the need to maintain on-premises PACS infrastructure while providing scalable storage, high availability, secure access, and seamless integration with clinical systems. It supports industry-standard protocols including DICOM, HL7, and FHIR, making it easy to integrate with imaging modalities, RIS, HIS, EMR, and third-party applications.
How is the data accessed and managed?
AdvaPACS is a web-based platform designed to be accessible with just a web browser on a laptop or desktop. It runs on all major browsers, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. With this, you can view DICOM instances and review patients' data from virtually anywhere as long as you have a stable internet connection.
How is the data sent to the cloud?
The instances are sent to the cloud through the AdvaPACS Gateway, which is an application included in the AdvaPACS platform.
The AdvaPACS Gateway is installed on a server in a medical facility that has access to the medical images to be uploaded to the cloud. This server should be connected to a network that has access to the medical imaging equipment to allow instances to be sent automatically directly from the modality.
Alternatively, if your modality supports DICOM TLS, you can send direct to the cloud using the AdvaPACS Cloud Gateway.
