Healthcare data volumes continue to rise across the enterprise as interdepartmental imaging needs merge with organizational demands. Effectively balancing the shifting storage and security requirements with a resourceful and dynamic user experience has been a perpetual struggle for traditional PACS technologies. Enterprises expect a technically sound solution that can keep pace with today’s sophisticated healthcare environment. Synapse® PACS is that solution.

Server-side image rendering technology is Fujifilm’s architecture of choice for Synapse PACS. The platform efficiently manages massive datasets with broader server-side bandwidth and delivers display-ready images directly to the workstation. The design also features a zero-download viewer, allowing for simplified enterprise-wide workstation deployment, reduced workstation IT support needs, and no mandatory workstation updates following a PACS software upgrade on the server.

To bring a new standard of enterprise imaging management to your organization, explore the following server and workstation specification requirements for Synapse PACS.
