OnLine XS Archives
Your future is based on our experience
Being the first PACS company in the world we have some experience in the
PACS field. With over 350 systems sold worldwide, Rogan has proven to be a
very reliable partner for building a mini-PACS up to a complete digital department,
or hospital with multi locations. By its unique state-of-the-art design,
and the combination with off the shelf hardware, images are retrieved
within milliseconds for review on workstations, making it one of the fastest
solutions in PACS currently on the market. As all information is always and
directly on line, no prefetching of older studies is needed, solving one of the
most crucial parts of implementing a PACS: adapting to and increasing of the
productivity of your workflow.
Integration within your hospital
The DICOM and HL7 standards will guarantee communication with other
vendors' systems, such as workstations, printers, RIS, HIS etc. For hospital
wide image distribution, Rogan OnLine archive can also be integrated
with the Rogan Web Extensions. Our experienced integration partners will
gladly inform you about the possibilities.
Rogan OnLine archive can be installed as part of a SAN (Storage Attached
Network), NAS (Network Attached Storage) or DAS (Direct Attached Storage),
integrated with the rest of your hospital IT needs for storage.
Standardized Components
The Rogan OnLine XS archive (read: OnLine Access) makes use of "off the
shelf" hardware and software. Working with a Microsoft SQL database and Intel
servers, the archive solution gets within reach of every department. Because
of the use of DICOM and the standard ability to store all DICOM fields, the
Rogan OnLine XS archive can also be used for departments outside of radiology,
like Radiotherapy, Medical Photography, Dental departments, Cardiology
and many others.
PACS in Two Days?
This might sound like a story that's too good to be true, but the concept
of Rogan OnLine PACS makes it possible to create a full digital department
within days of installation, because of the unique Everything on
Line concept. Your Rogan PACS systems integrator can help you plan
your steps in a digital environment.
Grow to enterprise PACS
The Rogan OnLine XS Archive offers the user an unlimited number of
modality and workstation connections. Starting with shelf storage, it
allows an upgrade to a system with a DVD jukebox for a fully automated
back-up process, expanding it with a RAID, and adding IHE and HIPAA
modules. For eliminating any single point of failure in the OnLine archive
solution, Rogan-Delft offers the Rogan RAIS solution, that will keep your
system up and running at all times!
"HSM", the basis of your data security
Information can be stored in various ways within the Rogan On Line archive,
depending on the solution you have chosen. Normally, all information
is stored on fast magnetic media, or for the bigger systems, on a
RAID-5 system. Migrating data to a back up system such as a DVD jukebox
is done automatically. Image data is stored in the DICOM lossless format,
doubling the capacity of your archive. The OnLine XS archive supports
Shelf Management, where written media can be exported from the
jukebox, and kept as off-line data. When the information is needed, the
system will tell you on which media you can find it.
Patient Data Security and Integrity
The Rogan OnLine archive has been designed to prevent the loss of data
at multiple levels. Some examples we support are:
- Hot swappable disks for continuous uptime (RAID: SAN-NAS-DAS)
- Users without administrative rights are prohibited from deleting data
- Highest levels of redundancy for eliminating single points of failure
- DICOM Storage Commit for checking if data has arrived safely in the archive
- Rogan-Delft is supporting the HIPAA initiative by partnering with end-users and providing tailor made solutions.
Turn Key Solutions
The Rogan On Line archive suite is also very interesting for departments
or companies that want to have a turn-key solution. Rogan-Delft has the
capability to offer a hardware and software solution that can be readily installed.
Naturally, Rogan Delft's partners also have the expertise for connections
with RIS and HIS systems, to guarantee a consistent patient
database. Options such as the Quality Control Module and the On Line
Verify Module guarantee this. The Rogan OnLine archives are accessible
for all DICOM nodes that support DICOM Query and Retrieve and have
no limitations in the number of connections.
Seamless integration with other vendors
We as an independent software developer have to provide the end-user with an open
systems based (DICOM & HL7) PACS solution capable to store DICOM information from
other manufacturers. This is our commitment to our customers, so they can rest at
night, not having to worry about this.
The database can easily be filtered on any DICOM field for various purposes, such as setting up multiple worklists for a department. The archive can be connected with HIS and RIS systems through HL7 or ASCII by using the Link Pro solution software, based on the IHE initiative.
Diagnostic quality compression
Rogan's Online XS PACS Archive is using all the available technologies from Rogan-
Delft. This includes the "Everything On Line" solution. As all the information is always
directly online in an uncompressed format, no pre-fetching of older studies is needed,
which solves one of the most crucial problems of implementing PACS: adapting to the
workflow of the radiology department.
The data that the radiologist will see on the VPX reporting station is a 100% diagnostic
quality. This will ensure that you can start directly without having the feeling that the
info you see might not be complete. As such we can provide the optimum workflow.
Rogan's On Line XS archive writes the data in DICOM Lossless format to the media. This means that the data capacity of your archive roughly expands by a factor of 2.5. Information can be kept for some time in the main storage, until it is migrated to the next level of archiving. The jukebox systems can be added as a back up, or long term deep archive.
On demand PACS solution
The modular design of Rogan's OnLine XS archive and its components makes it possible
to grow from a mini-PACS or modality-based archive to larger environments such
as a multi-location university PACS site with shared databases. Just add an additional
OnLine XS archive for redundancy and performance. Yes, it's just that simple.
Rogan OnLine XS offers:
- State of the art technology providing next generation PACS solutions
- Patient information always available for optimized workflow
- Extreme system availability
- Almost unlimited scalability
- Unlimited storage capacity support
- An on-demand growth path for your organization
- RAIS ready
- Improved data management
- Affordable with a fast return of investment
- A no-budget solution by use of our pay-per-exam offering!
- Unlimited connections
- Re-use of hardware investments
True enterprise wide archiving
The Rogan OnLine XS is configured with a SAN, NAS or DAS that is also capable of
storing non-DICOM information. The OnLine XS can also be used simultaneously for
other departments, such as Cardiology, making investments more defendable for
"going digital". We even provide the next generation PACS: "multi-side global PACS"
OnLine XS large solution
It's available: The ultimate PACS solution
Rogan Delft has designed the OnLine XS archive for optimal performance, system
availability and optimal flexibility. Of all the archive products that Rogan Delft has
developed over the last 18 years, this system incorporates all the technical innovation
and experience that has been accumulated over the years.
The Rogan OnLine XS archive is built on the technology of "Everything On Line" (EOL), "Multiple Archive Storage Servers" (MASS) and "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Servers" (RAIS), a way of multiplying the speed of image transfer compared to old technologies. Depending upon the configuration of the OnLine XS, a configurable number of XS archives deliver many images in parallel to the Rogan VPX viewing stations. It not only provides much faster access to your patient information, it also solves some of the most critical aspects of PACS: Uptime, redundancy and future proof capabilities!

Very often there is a need to acquire additional capability in our health care facilities but there isn't always the funds to purchase a new, full-functioned, state of the art, diagnostic imaging system. Therefore, a decision must be made to determine if the additional services can be shifted to another facility or if it is critical or at least necessary to remain at your facility. The decision usually comes back that it needs to remain and options to accommodate it must be considered.

Digital Radiography - Electronic X-Ray - When, Why and How?
It seems like we have crossed the healthcare frontier and the only thing left to conquer is analog or film based x-ray systems. MRI's, CT's, Ultrasound, PET, Bone Densitometry, Mammography and most diagnostic imaging systems output digital data, that is except for Radiography and Fluoroscopy. Most existing systems are still analog and put out either x-ray film and/or analog video. Although most mobile C-arms are now being produced with digital output capability, most existing C-arms, X-ray systems and R/F systems have not yet been upgraded. When you consider that today there are more x-ray studies done than any other modality study, we should concede, we are way overdue in moving to electronic Rad and Fluoro. These upgrades should probably be initiated before all others at medical facilities today.

The decisions are getting harder when we try and determine what our facility should invest in to provide the best patient care. 256 slice CTs, 3.0T MRIs, Digital Mammography, PACS Upgrade, EHR and so on....? We first try and determine our available budget or we are asked to submit a request for funds based upon current and future requirements, local competition and/or physician requirements. It is now necessary to take a long hard look at what is currently being utilized and determine how best to enhance capabilities. You probably begin to bring in vendors to discuss the capabilities of their new systems, as well as potential costs. If you are like many administrators, you immediately get a large blast of reality $$$$$$$. You instantly know that you will be limited to one purchase or less and it's possible funding won't be available for several years. If you are experiencing growth, patient count is increasing, test procedures are on the increase, and avaliable system time is becoming harder and harder to come by, then you know you will need to upgrade Radiology capacity.
