Exa PACS Delivers Speed and Power to Help HNRA Grow its Hospital Reading Practice
In 2018, HNRA installed Exa® PACS and has experienced significant growth since then, particularly in its hospital-based services.
Follow along as Dr. Muzammil A. Shafi, Managing Partner and neuroradiologist at HNRA talks about how Exa PACS stands out not only for its backend performance but also for its practical power.
The original plan was for Exa PACS to be a solution for reading studies remotely from their central office and as a backup system. However, as the hospital’s network expanded, Exa PACS quickly became essential in managing and integrating all exams, regardless of where they originated.
Exa PACS provided HNRA the flexibility to expand and add new clients, thanks to its completely web-based nature. It isn’t limited by workstation power or dependent on on-site servers. Exa PACS uses server-side rendering, meaning all the processing is done on the server, not the individual workstations. This prevents slowdowns from prefetching, as prior studies are immediately available. Radiologists can access imaging studies—including larger ones like 3D mammography or CT scans—rapidly, and because nothing is downloaded to workstations, patient data exposure is minimized.

Single Integrated Database
Konica Minolta’s Exa Platform offers a truly integrated user experience. The patient chart is unified across all modules, so whenever a change is made to a patient or exam record, the updated information is automatically reflected across the entire platform’s data set.
Server-Side Rendering = Speed
The Exa Platform’s Server-Side Rendering means the server is doing all of the work instead of each individual workstation. DICOM data does not need to transmit to each workstation because it is all done at the server. There is no pre-fetching required and this results in fast access regardless of the internet connection. You can now immediately receive all relevant data that is desired by the physician, rather than pre-fetching all data and slowing connection speeds. Server-Side Rendering increases system speed regardless of the larger file sizes from newer acquisition modalities. Server-Side Rendering also helps to reduce the workstation hardware technical requirements, because the server is taking on the workload of image rendering. This will extend the performance of existing PCs.
Zero Footprint Viewer
Exa’s diagnostic Zero Footprint (ZFP) Viewer offers full diagnostic toolsets and viewing capabilities from any computer. ZFP allows for immediate viewing on any consumer grade PC with no downloads, plugins or installations necessary. Software updates are now implemented across all users instantly through the centralized software.
Cybersecurity
Securing patient data is of the utmost importance. At Konica Minolta we are dedicated to keeping your critical information safe from vulnerabilities. With no data transferred to or stored on workstations, Exa minimizes unwanted exposure to patient data, while still allowing immediate easy access.
