AI-Powered PACS Platform for Medical Image Analysis
 
 
Artificial Intelligence helps doctors and patients with the hard-to-diagnose symptoms
 

Even for seasoned medical doctors, some symptoms in the images are still hard to find and they could jeopardize the health of patients. Like in the initial stage of dementia, it is hard to find anything abnormal in the scanning image. To tackle the problem of “data rich, insight poor”, trained on mass data, artificial intelligence can spot minor symptoms from images that look normal and allows doctors to provide references for more effective medical procedures and healthcare.

Challenges
 

Herricane Medical was looking for an Intel® Xeon®-based medical-grade system to build its picture archiving and communication system (PACS). The PACS is an imaging management tool that provides convenient storage and access to images from multiple modalities, including CR, DR, CT, MR, US, 2D/3D mammograms, SR, Endoscopy, etc. To process the massive image data and AI analysis, this medical system needs the support of a graphic card. In addition, IEC-60601 compliance is required.

 
Main Requirements
  • Intel® Xeon®-based platform with IEC-60601 compliance
  • Supports 4GB graphics card
  • Equipped with 128GB RAM
  • M.2/NVMe SSD for storage
  • Supports Linux operating system (Ubuntu 18.04)

The powerful medical-grade embedded system provides reliable AI application
 

mBOX600Axiomtek has proposed its mBOX600, a medical-grade embedded system with IEC-60601 compliance. The mBOX600 is powered by the Intel® Xeon® or 8th gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 (Coffee Lake). It has one HDMI and two DisplayPort ++ ports with 4K Ultra HD and triple-view display, providing an excellent viewing experience for doctors. It also has one half-size PCIe x16 slot for adding a GPU card to enhance AI performance. To load images from scanning equipment, in addition to a SATA III interface, one more M.2 Key M NVMe slot enables faster data reading. Ensuring the stability of the connection and data transmission, the mBOX600 with isolated COM and LAN became a reasonable choice. Moreover, the advanced platform adopts optional antimicrobial coating chassis for the medical environment.

 
AI-driven image analysis optimizes the diagnosis and enhances the well-being of patients
 
AI-Powered PACS Platform for Medical Image Analysis


The customer has deployed Axiomtek’s mBOX600 at the edge to build its AI-powered PACS platform for medical image analysis. Once a patient finishes CT or MRI scan, the images can be transmitted to the system for analysis. With PACS, patient medical reports and images can be viewed on any computer within hospitals. It helps achieve an accurate diagnosis and enhances overall efficiency. More than that, the past images stored in PACS can be imported into the system for AI-assisted diagnosis as well.

 
System Configurations of the mBOX600
  • Intel® Xeon® E-2176M processor, up to 4.40 GHz
  • 2 DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM for up to 64GB memory
  • 1 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort++ with 4K UHD supported
  • 2 COM and 2 GbE LAN support 4kV isolation
  • Supports half-size PCI Express x16 slot
  • Swappable 2.5" SATAIII SSD tray with security lock
  • Antimicrobial coating chassis (optional)
  • EN 60601-1 compliance
