London, 7th March 2008 - Rimage, the world’s leading provider of recordable CD, DVD and BD publishing systems, today announced a new model of its widely used Medical Disc Systems for medical imaging applications in hospitals, clinics and laboratories.

The new Rimage MDS 5300Nx and 5100Nx products integrate DVD and Blu-Ray disc duplication for disc output and offline storage needs with file server capabilities of 1.5 Terabyte RAID5 storage. This provides additional capacity for online storage and retrieval of medical images and running medical applications without the need for an additional external computer.

The new products are the perfect platforms for any mini-PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) applications including Cardio-PACS, Ortho-PACS or other medical workstation applications.

Users will be able to access and output medical imaging data including x-rays and scans from a single system. When implemented alongside an existing PACS, the new Rimage system provides an extra level of protection from system or disc failures. Integrating both high quality disc duplication and RAID storage within a single system makes the new products ideally suited for use within smaller clinics and departments.

Rimage systems are integral to how medical imaging systems are used everyday worldwide. Major medical imaging system manufacturers are standardising on Rimage disc publishing systems, while end users are adding Rimage systems to existing PACS.

Patients increasingly receive X-rays, MRIs and mammograms from digital machines. Rimage systems record these results onto optical media discs, which are also printed with indelible, full color images and patient information. This provides a personalised compact digital record that is easy, affordable and safe to store and share with the medical team and the patient.
