KJAYA Medical Debuts Ultra-Fast Intelligent-Cloud, Zero-Footprint Imaging Suite At RSNA 2010

VoXcell Delivers Complete RIS, PACS, 3D, Image Archiving and Sharing Anywhere, On-the-Fly with Unprecedented Speed

Ushering in a new paradigm in medical image management, KJAYA Medical (Booth # 2632) debuts its fully cloud-based zero-footprint VoXcell imaging suite with complete RIS, PACS, image archiving and communications functionalities—plus a full range of advanced visualization tools—accessible through a standard web browser.

Now, for the first time, medical facilities can manage all imaging workflow throughout the enterprise and beyond using robust industry standard applications, leading-edge 3D processing, PET/CT viewing and more -- all with anywhere, anytime Internet availability. Because VoXcell functions without downloading to the local PC, it offers the highest level of flexibility and immediate connectivity for image sharing among unaffiliated sites available today while assisting management of HIPAA and HITECH Act concerns. New users can even register online for a free 30-day evaluation period.

With the innovative KJAYA imaging suite, full digital image management has no in-house hardware requirement other than a typical web-enabled PC. Software purchases, downloads, and IT staff maintenance are eliminated. The system's intelligent cloud-based archiving is scalable to meet a site's evolving storage needs, while KJAYA's leading edge technology keeps users in the forefront of the imaging IT curve.

PACS, RIS and Image Sharing Across Communities
The VoXcell suite supports the same image interpretation and reporting as a state-of-the-art web-based PACS. In addition, it enables image communications over the Internet for on-the-fly referring physician reporting, remote consultations, trauma transfers and more—without any dedicated software or hardware requirements for remote users. As a result, it is a highly effective image communication hub for Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIOs) or entire unaffiliated medical communities, providing an important step towards universal access to healthcare information. With appropriate permissions, multiple users in disparate locations simultaneously may schedule a patient visit, check exam status, access any study, interpret an image and obtain a report.

Lightning Fast 3D/4D Remote Processing
At the same time, KJAYA's lightning fast 3D/4D processing overcomes the challenge of formatting and delivering interactive high volume 3D/4D reconstructed images over the Internet on-demand. VoXcell, for example, displays the latest 4D 320-slice CT scan output comprising 6700 images (3.35GB data) in seconds, by contrast to hours using conventional PACS and 3D processing solutions. Sites with an existing PACS can seamlessly integrate this functionality into their systems, and any site can take advantage of new revenue channels for advanced visualization without incurring a capital expense.

Taking Advantage of Computer Game Technology
At the heart of VoXcell's unique capabilities are Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), the same technology that powers today's advanced video gaming cards. These GPUs are made up of hundreds of small processors that handle information simultaneously, in contrast to the single central processing unit (CPU) of a typical PACS server.

"KJAYA's artificial intelligence algorithms running on GPU technology make VoXcell servers thinking machines. They are capable of producing Intelligent Visualizations and adapted to handle the ever-increasing volumes of medical data—100 times more powerful than current PACS servers," notes Kovalan, president and founder of KJAYA.

The VoXcell Intelligent Cloud itself comprises high-performance GPU servers in geographically disparate locations nationwide. VoXcell's GPU storage area network and fiber optics connected data centers enable rapid access to, and processing of, large medical data files, while providing redundancy and unlimited storage and archiving. All processing is handled remotely on the VoXcell cloud server bank and simply accessed by the local PC. "It's that fast and easy, whatever the specifications of your local PC," commented Kovalan.

One-time Fee-Per Study
With VoXcell, any site, whatever its size and budget, can enjoy the most advanced digital imaging workflow without system set up costs and only a reasonable one-time per-study fee. "Hardware and software capital expenses, IT staffing and physical workspace no longer are barriers to the most advanced digital imaging applications and integrated PACS/RIS workflow," explained Kovalan.

He notes that getting started is easy, whether VoXcell is implemented as a first-time conversion to a digital imaging environment, a cost-effective replacement for an existing PACS, or an added advanced visualization processing engine.

The VoXcell suite supports authenticated access, encrypted communication, data and access redundancy and unlimited storage for the highest level of data safety and security. VoXcell cloud-based advanced clinical viewing software has been cleared as a diagnostic device by the FDA.
