Quartz IIS: Intranet Image Server
The Internet and corporate Intranets have changed the way people communicate and the way information is distributed within organizations.
Put Your Lab on the Net: Submit Jobs, Retrieve Data
The Quartz PCI Image Intranet Server uses internet technology to streamline access to your laboratory’s information and resources. Anyone (with appropriate security clearance) connected to the network can submit jobs, check job status and search for images and other data using an ordinary web browser.
Images can be retrieved either through structured database searches, where the user fills in and submits a query form or through unstructured, full-text searches, which use web search engine technology to search for keywords across all database fields and even within documents stored in the database. Like PCI’s standard query software, Intranet Image Server’s search functions make use of browse lists to minimize typing and the possibility of typographical errors.
Because it uses a standard browser, there is no new software to learn and it is not necessary to install specialized client software at each workstation. All client platforms, including PC, Mac or Unix systems, for which browser software is available, can access the database.
Dynamic Image Compression
The Intranet Image Server can dynamically compress and resize images prior to transmission to reduce network bandwidth in accordance with the user’s requirements. A user connected with a telephone connection may want to receive an image as a highly-compressed JPEG file, while a LAN-connected user who wants to do image processing may prefer the original high-resolution TIFF file.
