This Apple Science podcast features Dr. Gary Spiegel, Co-Medical Director of the Hartford Hospital Stroke Center, where Apple technology was implemented to reduce costs and to enable more innovative ways of addressing critical stroke care. Dr. Spiegel needed a reliable way to archive the big images produced in the angiography suite. The hospital’s picture archive communication system (PACS) could not store or retrieve Spiegel’s image files, often as large as 700MB. Dr. Roger Katen designed an Apple-based archiving system using OsiriX, an open source medical image management software system. He installed identical systems, each including a quad-core Mac Pro, an Xserve RAID, and a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display, in the angiography suite and in Spiegel’s nearby office. The two systems, linked by a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection, provide data redundancy. Spiegel’s wish list for a solution included reliability, performance, and reasonable cost. The system now handles the largest files with ease.
