Hospital and radiology IT reaches its limits
Challenges for the IT infrastructure
- Exploding data volumes: DICOM image data is growing continuously – IT infrastructure is reaching its capacity limits.
- Rising IT costs: Maintaining outdated PACS archives, purchasing hardware, and paying IT staff are becoming increasingly expensive.
- Legal framework & default risks: KHVVG, NIS-2, retention periods such as Radiation Protection Act (§85) & Professional Code of Conduct for Physicians (§10 (3) place high demands on hospital systems – inadequate emergency management (BCM) pose considerable risks.
