Hardware
Online: basic desktop without GPU to upload the DICOM files to the server. Recommended specs: Intel Xeon E5-2650, 8 GB memory, 500 GB disk space
Offline: Intel Xeon E5-2650, 16 GB memory, 1 TB disk space
Server
A proprietary software that supports FTP/SFTP-style DICOM uploading.
Offline: none
Integration
It is possible to integrate the product with client’s legacy picture archiving and communication (PACS) system.
Software
A proprietary software that supports File Transfer Protocol (FTP)-style DICOM uploading
Processing Time
Online deployment: it takes around 1 second for the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to process the image and generate the result, but the time to upload the DICOM file may vary depending on the local internet environment.
Offline deployment: it takes around 5 seconds for the AI algorithm to process the image and generate the result.
Data Sharing & Privacy
»» Server location: the server is currently located on AliCloud in China. It can be deployed locally and offline
»» Upon consent, the pixel array from the DICOM file is shared when the DICOM is generated and uploaded to the company's cloud platform
»» The shared data are used for troubleshooting, monitoring product usage, training or improvement of software. The AI results are confirmed by JF Healthcare's team of radiologists. Customers are also notified of any emergent abnormalities e.g. pneumothorax/pneumoperitoneum not related to TB
»» There is an option to de-identify data
