ISL optimises and protects medical image files

ISL Biometrics has unveiled SentriNET IMAGEPRESS, a powerful clinical-imaging-optimisation application. It uses advanced coding processes, capable of reducing the size of a file while preserving the integrity of an image, that can be delivered across a network and the Internet.

This combination of Visioncom’s Optimise technology with ISL’s own biometric authorisation solution has been developed specifically for use with medical image file types, including jpeg, tiff and DICOM. Security has been guaranteed by the integration of both an AES 256-bit encryption algorithm, which is automatically applied to all images when they are optimised using ISL’s biometric fingerprint authorisation, API.

“SenriNET’s IMAGEPRESS application offers a very efficient tool that will offer a solution to optimise current bandwidth and avoids the difficulties inherent with jpeg compression solutions, which often distort the images”, said Dr Roderick Grant, Consultant Radiologist at BHR Hospitals NHS Trust. “This, added to a very high built-in encryption and biometric security ensures a high degree of confidence in the integrity and security of all data sent via the Internet.”
