Hello William,
thank you for your request: You may use K-PACS for private (e.g. watching your studies with your wife or grandma), scientific (e.g. to perform a nonprofit scientific study or research) or evaluation use (trying it out w/o making any diagnosis or medical decision based on K-PACS. You would need a commercial licenses for all other use, e.g. viewing, reviewing or watching images in any facility of patient healthcare like private or governmental imaging centers, practices or hospitals.

Feel free to contact us or your local dealer for further information.

Best regards

Hello,

thank you for your request.
K-PACS is free for evaluations, private purposes and scientific use.
You may not use it for any commercial reasons, e.g. in facilities to earn money with medical imaging.
iQ-VIEW/PRO is the commerically available product for such installations.
We will clarify this situation in future K-PACS versions.

Best regards

The professional version of K-PACS is called iQ-VIEW. There is an integrated interface to connect to older OREX machines. It doesn´t work with newer ones (>=Summer 2006) since KODAK changed the interface and doesn´t publish the data anymore.

Yes, there is a german manual for both, iQ-VIEW and iQ-VIEW LITE.

Please, write to info@image-systems.biz and let the support team send you both pdf files. Replace the corresponding english files in your iQ-VIEW folder.

Kind regards

Arpad

... are also our suggested systems.

You can use a lot of printers for the 1st 15.000 prints with good results, but then, the quality will go down. XEROX has a permanent good quality as well as low maintenance (consumables etc.). You could also with good long term results use Nashuatec DSC428 (detail contrast better for MRI, lung etc, but dark grey e.g. for cranial CT scans are worse)

Best regards

Hallo Chuck,
K-PACS is a freeware and NOT registered as a medical device. But this is necessary for human use within the United States. There is a commercial version (very affordable for 499 USD only, named iQ-VIEW http://www.iq-view.com) which you can use in the most countries of the world as a certified medical device. We are working very hard on the so called FDA 510(k) approval in order to get the permission for the FDA as well. We expect it in the middle of 2006. We would like to set you on the mailing list, and you will receive the notification as soon as we get the clearince.

The lite viewer (mini CD viewing application) will currently not be copied to the created patient cd folder, but

you can copy iq-lite.exe (you?ll find it in the main folder of iQ-VIEW) into the created cd folder. Then burn this folder to your CD, and the patient CD is ready!

Regards

Arpad
