Communications Systems (PACS), has been developing visionary medical imaging
solutions for more than 15 years. Designed to help healthcare professionals meet
a wide spectrum of imaging needs, Barco’s solutions range from premium, high-
resolution diagnostic display systems to innovative advanced visualization and analysis
software.
The company’s reputation and commitment to quality and service has earned Barco
the trust of customers from all over the world, who partner with Barco to meet their
most demanding imaging challenges. A strong emphasis on support is the cornerstone
of Barco’s customer commitment. Barco’s development and production process is
supported by a worldwide network of research, development and support services.
Barco’s Medical Imaging division is ISO 9001:2000 & ISO 13485 certified.

Maximize performance in multiple
imaging environments
New, enterprise-wide PACS
integration options
Building on Barco’s portfolio of industry-
leading PACS integrations, VOXAR 3D
ENTERPRISE introduces new options for
increased speed and enterprise-wide
access to advanced visualization.
VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE can be integrated
into numerous enterprise-wide PACS
environments, providing a rapid, one-
click integration with the advanced
visualization tools of VOXAR 3D. Unlike
other solutions, there is no need to
manage two work lists; one for PACS
and one for your advanced visualization
application.
VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE can also act as a data
cache for large volumetric studies when
your PACS is not equipped to manage
and archive these studies.
Alternatively, VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE can
be economically integrated into your
radiology workflow as an interim
solution when PACS is not present. A
direct DICOM connection enables access
to your CT, MR and PET modalities
Cost-effective enterprise-
wide licensing
VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE’s cost-effective
licensing approach enables you to make
advanced visualization and analysis
tools available on a concurrent license
basis everywhere you need them to be:
within the radiology reading room and
throughout the hospital-enterprise.
Communication of complex
image reconstructions
across the enterprise
Use VOXAR 3D to bookmark and restore
complex post-processing steps and
image reconstructions, and distribute
them to clinical colleagues throughout
the enterprise. Using VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE,
your clinical colleagues can further
manipulate image reconstructions using
VOXAR 3D’s Live Image capabilities.
VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE Server
Combines powerful, off-the-shelf
server technology and graphics cards to
deliver high-performance visualization
simultaneously on high-end diagnostic
PACS workstations and standard
networked PCs.
• Scales to the number of users
required. These users can access
the power of VOXAR 3D’s advanced
visualization tools on a concurrent
“floating” license basis from any
networked PC throughout the
enterprise.
• Powerful graphics cards provide
hardware-based 3D acceleration,
delivering real-time video rates
of over 20 frames per second on
standard PCs.
• VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE can act as a data
cache in environments without
a PACS or when the PACS is not
designed to manage volumetric
data.
VOXAR 3D ELITE
Designed to run on high-end diagnostic
workstations, VOXAR 3D ELITE provides
full Voxar 3D workstation functionality,
including all available clinical
applications.
• Allows you to load 1000 images in
less than 15 seconds
• If a graphics card is installed,
VOXAR 3D takes maximum advantage
of its performance in order to provide
extreme rendering speed.
Off-the-shelf technology
VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE is the only solution
to use powerful, off-the-shelf server
technology and high-performance
commodity graphics cards, which
means you are not locked to proprietary
hardware development cycles. This
allows you to take advantage of existing
supplier arrangements and use your
existing IT infrastructure. You also benefit
from the latest IT technologies at the
most competitive prices available.
Web-based deployment
The installation and maintenance of
VOXAR 3D client installations is easily
achieved using web-based admini-
stration tools. This makes administration
effortless and effective. Upgrades are
quick and easy and in the case of
VOXAR 3D ACCESS automatic.
Advanced visualization tools need to be instantly available
anywhere you need to access your CT, MR and PET image
studies. By providing the right technology solution, VOXAR 3D
ENTERPRISE delivers speed and performance in multiple imaging
environments.
Much more than a thin client solution
• Inside the radiology reading room
VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE rapidly delivers large volumetric image studies
to your high-performance diagnostic workstation - running VOXAR
3D ELITE - for local processing and analysis.
• Outside the radiology reading room
Throughout the rest of the hospital, the viewing station is likely
to be a standard networked PC, operating over a standard
100Mbit intranet link. In such a setup, image reconstructions
are created at the VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE Server and the results are
streamed to your PC - running VOXAR 3D ACCESS - in real time.
VOXAR 3D ACCESS
Provides access to the most commonly
used advanced visualization tools on a
standard networked PC connected to
the VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE server.
• Allows you to view 1000 images in
less than 10 seconds on a GB
network.
• Advanced processing of image
reconstructions are created and
streamed to your screen in real
time.
Scalable, cost-effective and integrated into PACS Much more than a thin client solution
‘‘Large volumetric studies are the nemesis
of most PACS solutions. VOXAR 3D ENTERPRISE
integrated into your PACS is the answer to this
problem. It allows us to reliably and consistently
load 2500+ images in less than 20 seconds
from anywhere within the hospital.,,
