Intelligent Routing
DICOM Routing
Enterprise-grade medical imaging data routing with automated workflows, failover, and vendor-neutral integration across your entire network.
Overview
We design, build, and support complex DICOM routing topologies that keep imaging data flowing reliably across multi-site hospital networks — even when individual nodes fail.
In a modern hospital network, imaging data needs to flow between dozens of endpoints: PACS servers, workstations, AI platforms, archives, teleradiology gateways, and provincial repositories. Managing this complexity with point-to-point connections is unsustainable.
eMed's DICOM routing solutions create an intelligent middleware layer that manages all imaging data movement. Routes are defined by business rules — study type, modality, urgency, destination capacity — and the system automatically handles failover, retry, and error recovery.
We've designed routing topologies for some of Ontario's most complex hospital networks, including 12-site regional networks with 100% business continuity. Our approach is vendor-neutral by design: we integrate GE, Philips, Siemens, AGFA, and any DICOM-compliant system.
Key Features
- Intelligent rules-based routing with complex conditionals
- Automated failover & business continuity architecture
- DICOM proxy for secure cross-network routing
- Vendor-neutral integration with all major PACS platforms
- Real-time monitoring, alerting, and dashboards
- Compression and bandwidth optimization for WAN links
- Study-level routing based on modality, body part, or custom tags
- Scheduled routing for batch operations and off-peak transfers
Benefits
- Zero-downtime imaging with automatic failover paths
- Connect any PACS to any PACS, regardless of vendor
- Reduce WAN bandwidth costs with intelligent compression
- Centralized visibility across your entire routing topology
- Rapid onboarding of new sites and modalities
