One advantage of the unique Insight™ technology is that large, expensive radiological workstations can be replaced with simple and inexpensive client stations such as thin-clients 1 or regular PCs. Such client devices, however, provide full diagnostic PACS functions for the clinical users, including searching and selecting of patients and data, loading of data regardless of study size and/or number of studies, presentation and analysis of image data (2D functions as well as advanced 3D functions such as MPR and reconstructions), and all ancillary PACS functions (printing, collaboration, tele-consultation, reporting, etc).

Standard web-based PACS applications running on PCs do not provide the required PACS functionality for a number of reasons: transmitting large amounts of image data to an access station is inefficient in terms of both time and bandwidth, and such access workstations must still be sufficiently powerful in order to perform all relevant analysis functions.

1 A thin-client is a small, diskless computer that contains no operating system and boots in seconds and operates as a terminal to a server machine. Thin clients may have one or more screens, a keyboard, a pointing device, and a microphone (if necessary). transferred from the server to any clients. Only the final screen images are streamed to the client station in response to user interactions.
