Voyager Burn provides a CD/DVD option to extract patient images from a workstation or PACS for distribution to patients, referrers or as a means to transfer data via removable media. Voyager Burn can utilize the workstation computer or server CD/DVD burning unit for storage, archive and distribution of images. Voyager Auto Burn allows connection of an automated CD/DVD production unit for burning copies of patient studies as well as printing the CD/DVD labels with patient and study details. This allows patient studies and images to be easily distributed to patients and referrers without the need for film. Images and studies created by Voyager Burn include the full DICOM images, and allows access to image import at a later time, to a workstation or PACS. The CD/DVD is created with auto start function allowing viewing of images in PC and Macintosh systems. Voyager Viewer application allows the user to select their study of choice, that allows viewing and manipulation tools for enhanced viewing and review of images. Voyager Burn can operate as part of a Voyager Diagnostic workstation, Voyager PACS network or as a standalone system receiving DICOM images from modalities or another DICOM input.
