Next Generation Approach to Medical Imaging
The rapid evolution of medical imaging technologies has led to a significant increase in data volumes across healthcare organizations. Secure storage of large imaging datasets, fast access and seamless sharing among different user roles have become essential for efficient and high quality healthcare delivery.
Sarus PACS moves medical imaging beyond physical archives, delivering a cloud-based solution that reduces operational costs and provides secure access to images from anywhere on any device.
How does a Cloud Based Sarus PACS System Work?
All data generated by medical imaging devices is processed through a local data acquisition layer and securely transmitted to the Sarus PACS cloud infrastructure. Acting as a digital archive, the system organizes all images and makes them instantly accessible to authorized users at any time.
Architecture of Cloud Based Sarus PACS
The Sarus PACS architecture consists of a three-layer structure designed with flexibility, security and high availability as core principles.
Layer 1: Data Collection Layer (On-Premise Infrastructure)
All imaging devices used within your healthcare facility operate in full integration with Sarus PACS via the DICOM protocol (C-STORE / C-FIND / C-MOVE). Images received from modalities are subjected to preprocessing and quality control within the local data layer before being transferred, ensuring consistent image quality and system reliability.
The key components that play a critical role in this layer:
Sarus DICOM Router
Management of image routing, data transfer, and pre-processing via DICOM C-STORE SCP/SCU protocols
Sarus Modality Worklist
Patient demographic management and appointment scheduling through the DICOM worklist server
All data is transmitted to the cloud infrastructure via secure network connections.
Layer 2: Cloud Infrastructure Layer
Imaging data is securely stored on the Sarus Image Server, operating on high-performance cloud infrastructure. Supported by geographically distributed data centers and automated backup mechanisms, the platform ensures continuous and reliable access.
The core components of this layer:
Cloud Load Balancer
Traffic distribution, SSL termination and high availability
Sarus Image Server (Main Storage)
A comprehensive imaging platform featuring advanced DICOM archive management,an image processing engine, a Study Repository, fast query and retrieval services, optimized image compression, and high performance NVMe based speed storage.
Database Cluster
Master database(metadata indexing, patient records, user management, audit record) and replica database(real-time synchronization, read scalability, and failover preparation).
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Built for maximum resilience, the platform delivers enterprise-grade data protection through multi-region replication, automated backups, Point-in-Time Recovery and 99.999% data durability.
Integration Layer
HIS / RIS Integration
Sarus HL7 Listener & Router enables automatic synchronization of patient and appointment data through ADT, ORU, and ORM messages. It eliminates manual data entry and improves data consistency
Modules of Teleradiology
Critical cases are instantly routed to expert radiologists in real time while bandwidth optimization ensures fast, secure and seamless remote reporting.
