Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The FDA package describes a DICOM node receiving studies from a modality or other DICOM source, processing them, and forwarding the enhanced study to a destination.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04
Deployment and data flow
On-cloud
Public source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Deployment category preserved from the prior exact-submission review; hosting region, data flow, and current commercial configuration still require vendor confirmation.

Security and privacy
Not established in reviewed sources
Reviewed sources checked Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-04

Public materials reviewed for this exact submission do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.

Training and support
Use by radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians. Follow the exact labeling, local training, supervision, and escalation requirements.
