qLens™ — local image enhancement without altering the source image
Enhancement is applied inside the lens region only and is display-only: the source DICOM pixel data is never modified, the effect is reversible, one-click reset returns the acquired presentation, and the viewer indicates when post-processing is active.
02 · Platform
Platform, integration & deployment
The archive behind the viewer: a standards-compliant DICOM node, the study index and worklist, reporting, and the access controls a hospital needs before a single patient image is stored.

HL7 v2 messaging
A licensed capability — the MLLP listener starts only when the licence carries the hl7 feature.

Modalities
Designed to receive and archive objects from DICOM-conformant modalities across vendors. Devices are registered by AE title with an optional allow-list.
Specifications are indicative and subject to change without notice. Availability of individual features may depend on edition, licence entitlements, deployment configuration and the capabilities of connected modalities and third-party systems. Regulatory status for diagnostic use varies by territory; please confirm the applicable status for your market before clinical use.
