The Galaxy ADA Archive Appliance is a robust DICOM 3.0 storage archive solution. It is not a mini-PACS or a vendor neutral archive, rather it has been purpose-built for the storage, retrieval and long-term archiving of DICOM 3.0 images. The product can be sold up front as an add-on to a new modality sale and is also positioned as the in-the-field replacement for installed, aging Magneto-optical drive towers (MOD) that are now EOL.

Access to archived studies is needed.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) of 1996 gives patients the right to access their own medical records.
The State Department of Health and Human Services requires healthcare providers to supply medical records within 30 days of request.
State Legislation requires storage and access of medical records ranging from 5 to 11 years for adults and 7 years to life for minors.
