Cloud based archiving of veterinary images in ORCA Archive

Cloud solutions have been tried and tested worldwide. This technology provides access to state of the art software services on a pay per use basis, while simultaneously reducing the need for expensive computing and communications infrastructure in the office. An ever growing number of companies has chosen to rely on services and storage hosted remotely in the “cloud”. Today's high data transmission rates make remotely hosted services ranging from simple image backups to complete collections of servers increasingly attractive. Applications and data stored remotely are accessible wherever a connection to the internet exists.

A daily challenge in veterinary medicine is processing the large volume of images generated by modern equipment. Veterinary diagnostics greatly benefits from advances in high-quality imaging techniques and at the same time is faced with ever-growing data volumes.

ORCA (OR Technology Cloud Archiving) is a software solution designed to make everyday work in veterinary practices and animal clinics easier, cheaper and more efficient. ORCA archives medical images and documents on its remote servers using highest security standards, and enables these data to be shared with other veterinarians and authorised persons online. Communication is easier than ever with vets requesting equine pre-purchase examinations,  pet owners, appraisers for breeding associations and colleagues during a consultation.

ORCA Archive transfers and stores image files from direct sources (e.g. digital X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound machines) as well as from Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in a cloud-based archive. ORCA Archive can also be used as a backup solution. Wherever the internet is accessible, images archived in the cloud can be viewed at maximal resolution and quality (DICOM) via the integrated, browser-based ORCA View program and our analysis software dicomPACS®vet. If a different PACS is in use, images from ORCA can be downloaded to the desktop for local viewing.
