Image Management
Image tracking
The Cardiovascular Core Labs use a customized bar-coded tracking system to aid in the identification and tracking of studies. Images are logged into the Cardiovascular Core Lab's€™ tracking system upon arrival. The system generates a unique bar-coded label and identification number for each study.
Digital web transmission
The Cardiovascular Core Labs have partnered with commercial vendors to offer the option of web-based digital transmission of echo studies. Studies can be submitted to the Core Labs via a secure web-site. Studies can be submitted from any desktop computer with Internet access and the appropriate software. All studies are electronically archived on a secure server and are available for immediate review. For further information about this option, please contact the Core Lab.
Image Duplication and Storage
All images submitted to the Core Lab are duplicated and archived. This serves as the source documentation for our analysis. Digitized studies are copied onto a secure server that has nightly backup. CDs and DVDs are stored on-site for the duration of the study and long-term, if desired. All digitized images and measurements used for analysis will be stored digitally in the Core Lab server which is backed up nightly.
