Advantech AIMB-587 helps accurate diagnosis through medical image storage and transmission system (PACS)

The Medical Image Storage and Transmission System (PACS) provides economical storage and easy access to images from a variety of machine sources, provides a convenient platform for data management in hospital scenes, and is a typical example of the digitization of medical equipment. The Micro-ATX industrial motherboard AIMB-587 launched by Advantech has both medical digital processing capabilities and high AI computing power, making it an ideal choice for innovative PACS solutions.
Doctors make many decisions that affect the health of patients. In order to improve efficiency while obtaining better results and improving patient care, medical applications are rapidly undergoing digitalization. This transformation process consists of three main stages:
 Image processing: structured analysis of various types of high-definition image data.
 AI-driven decision-making: guide doctors to use patient data to make better decisions.
 Simplified operation: Improve efficiency and safety.
Application requirements
Medical Image Storage and Transmission System (PACS) is a medical imaging technology that provides economical storage and convenient access to images from multiple machine sources, such as X-ray plain film and magnetic resonance imaging, and provides a convenient platform for hospital data management . Thanks to the development of AI, PACS is equipped with advanced AI modules, which can display high accuracy and high sensitivity in medical diagnosis. Compared with traditional manual evaluation, medical personnel can use PACS to detect abnormalities and diseases more easily and effectively.
In medical imaging-related applications, performance and data transmission reliability are critical to service providers. On the one hand, equipment needs to provide powerful computing capabilities for multitasking. On the other hand, many devices such as CT and MRI machines are continuously generating data. To achieve better medical imaging diagnosis results, AI modules should be integrated with the motherboard and the market. Compatible with AI solutions. Therefore, determining the appropriate AI solution for PACS is challenging for service providers.
As the PACS system needs to process a large number of high-resolution images, high-speed data transmission is essential, and proper network bandwidth is the basic requirement of the PACS system. Video and images need to be transmitted from the operating room to the cloud in a low-latency manner. Because the data related to medical diagnosis involves patient privacy during the data transmission process, the security of medical data is considered. Therefore, dual protection is required through both software and hardware. .

The solution
High-speed transmission platform with high energy consumption
Advantech has launched the AIMB-587 Micro-ATX industrial motherboard for high-performance applications such as PACS. It is equipped with Intel's tenth-generation Xeon W series processors. Compared with previous generations of processors, its multi-threaded computing performance has increased by 14%. AIMB-587 is equipped with PCIe x16 expansion slot, and the additional AI card provides an ideal solution for complex medical diagnostic applications. AIMB-587 supports four network interfaces, dual Gigabit Ethernet + dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, of which 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports can achieve 10 Gbit/s bandwidth to meet high-resolution image and video transmission requirements. These can provide customers with excellent choices for building different applications in various scenarios.
Data security solutions to ensure reliability and privacy
Data confidentiality is a very important requirement in medical applications. AIMB-587 supports TPM 2.0 that can encrypt data and perform control and platform authentication, which means it can provide excellent protection for PACS from malicious attacks and data theft by hackers. AIMB-587 can support up to 8 SATA ports with software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 functions. In addition, Advantech's certified Microsoft Azure provides customers with cloud backup services to store all their valuable information.
