Manufacturer: 200 Gregory Lane, Suite C-100 Pleasant Hill, CA 94523-3389 USA # E.6 Device Description Visage PACS is a system to distribute, view, and process medical images and reports within and outside of health care environments. It consists of the following components: - Visage PACS Storage 1 - -Visage PACS Web - Visage CS - ### Visage PACS Storage A server receives image data in DICOM format via the hospital network. This provides universal connections to archives, modalities and workstations. The modalities that are supported by Visage PACS Storage are listed in the DICOM Conformance Statement. Visage PACS Storage offers an archiving option for long-term storage of image data. Only the data consistency on archive media is guaranteed, the system provider has to take own appropriate means (e.g. redundancy) for safety against data loss caused by media destruction. Without the archiving option, the Visage PACS system features no components for long-term data archiving. Additional archiving on film or in digital form is therefore necessary. ### Visage PACS Web Data that are stored on the Visage PACS Storage server can be accessed simultaneously by multiple web-based viewing stations within a healthcare enterprise or from elsewhere outside through web clients. The image data transfer is done in DICOM format via the Intranet or the Internet, for example to stations located in a doctor's office, throughout hospitals or a physician's home. Strong data encryption is provided (SSL) to ensure a secure data transfer. Images can be viewed directly within a web browser (Internet Explorer). The system offers simple functions for image manipulation and measurements. Reports can be viewed together with the images on one page. ### Visage CS Visage CS is a client server system that uses thin client technology for distribution of 3D image data generated from image data of state-of-the-art scanning modalities. The thin client viewer allows to view and process 3D image data. No DICOM data is transferred to the client. It remains on the 3D Application Server at any time, ensuring safe and consistent access to large 3D data throughout the hospital enterprise. Instead of image data, a stream of compressed screen content information is transmitted during interaction. {2}------------------------------------------------ Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. 199 Riverneck Road Chelmsford, MA 01824-2820 #### August 22, 2007 United States of America If Visage CS is used in un-secure networks (e.g. WAN) third party VPN (Virtual Private Network) solutions have to be used to secure the data transfer between the Visage Server and the client machines. ### E.6.1 Description of Modification This is to describe the significant changes associated with the implementation of the cardiac analysis option. With the new version of the software the user can import cardiac CT time series in order to utilize them for the LV analysis (analysis of the left ventricle). The LV analysis tool card helps with the analysis of the left ventricle in cardiac CT time series, which show the heart in various phases of one heart beat. This toolcard quides the user through an LV analysis step by step. After the user has completed the last step the LV Results tool card is displayed as a floating window. The user can review his/her results now and export them to a report. The LV tools support the physician in finding the left ventricle in the image data. The LV tool card supports the user to find and display the long and short axes of the left ventricle and to segment the left ventricle. It supports the user to calculate the total volume of the left ventricle over one heart cycle, the stroke volume and the ejection fraction of the various LV regions and the accumulated wall motion. ### E.7 Intended Use Visage PACS is a system for distributing, viewing, and processing medical images and reports within and outside health care environments.
