Quality assured printing into PACS systems
HCI Print-to-PACS permits a quality-assured printing of documents from any application over worklists in a PACS as DICOM PDF objects. By its own printer driver, the document conversion is made directly into PDF format.
Subsequently, this newly generated PDF document can be linked to patient data and then sent as DICOM PDF object to a PACS.

DICOM Support

With Print-to-PACS you are able to transmit documents as DICOM PDF objects from any application to the central PACS server. The documents will be converted to the PDFformat via its own printer-module. The generated PDF-documents can be linked to the patient-data and transmitted to the central PACS server as DICOM objects.
