Pukka-j recently migrated the existing Radiotherapy DICOM service at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness to new hardware and performed the DICOM migration.  The update was performed as part of a recent upgrade to the CT scanner in the department and involved a replacement of the primary and secondary archive servers, updates to the DICOM services and connectivity with the new equipment being installed in the department.

In order to move the data, Nexus, Pukka-j’s DICOM streaming service was used to rapidly read all the data and reconcile any DICOM files with the entries in the database.  The Nexus service is able to rapidly read data due to it’s multi-threaded processing, which allowed the entire archive to be migrated and reconciled to the new server in just a few days.
