Vital Image Management System (VIMS) is a centralized server that efficiently takes enormous amounts of image data from the scanner and, in a single push, makes it available to multiple users anywhere. By centralizing data management, clinical pre-processing and distribution of imaging data and tools, VIMS is able to optimally manage
the data explosion created by demand of thin-slice CT scans.
VIMS provides flexible access to 3D information from advanced visualization workstations, a PACS workstation, through a Web browser, or integrated into the EMR. It utilizes off-the-shelf hardware and leverages industry standard interfaces to seamlessly integrate with and leverage an existing enterprise or IT infrastructure.
VIMS offers a consistent thin-slice data visualization experience, with a remarkably short time to first image, bringing robust 3D advanced visualization to the entire enterprise.
Key Features:
• Consistent view among any user of the system from virtually anywhere within the enterprise
• Compatible with CT/MR/PET and other scanners you use today
• Option to integrate with your existing enterprise or IT solution; many integrations available today
• Removes resource competition with PACS by managing massive thin-slice CT data
• Secured by fault-tolerant and redundant design options
• Communicates with Vitrea Advanced and Vitrea Core
• Reduces hardware costs through leveraging commodity hardware components
• Lightens the network load by using unique loss-less volume compression
• Integration
• Dramatically reduces the time to first image

Scalability
Each dimension can be expanded separately with off-the-shelf hardware. Whether you want to increase the number
of concurrent users or the amount of data flowing through the system, it’s easy to determine your needs and match them to the hardware from your chosen vendor. We simply increase and reconfigure the system’s capabilities when demand goes up. There’s no need to buy expensive proprietary hardware.
Availability
The Vital Images solution provides high availability operation protection by offering configuration options with no single point of failure.
• Vitrea Core and Advanced Nodes
Proactively manage all user sessions; work independently for each customer login. If a server goes offline for any reason, the system is able to detect this in real-time and ensure that no new sessions are assigned to that resource.
• Data Application Servers
Manage DICOM information and Vital data processing in order to optimize the user’s viewing experience. VIMS can leverage any industry standard network load balancing technologies.
• Storage Management and Cache
VIMS provides an efficient and effective way to store volumetric data for a demanding facility. By utilizing the most advanced volumetric compression format in the industry, VIMS is able to store, transport and load large data quickly on the server for user access.
Serviceability
The administrative functions of the Vital Images solution have been consolidated and centralized to provide access to all of the critical components of the functioning system. This includes the ability to add/remove running advanced nodes from a cluster system, as well as status and control functions of all system services. With real-time updating of any remote DICOM entities, there is no need for unexpected downtime as new equipment is integrated with the Vitrea Enterprise Suite.
The system also provides an extendable, real-time system-reporting infrastructure. Available statistics include DICOM throughput, volume throughput, clinical user usage, and audit event level of specific users accessing specific patients. Additionally, centralized access to a system-wide logging mechanism for critical events can be combined into customized report views. Altogether, these tools are able to offer a high value, real-time health status on the system in a single user-friendly interface.
