Robust Security
The cornerstone of ASTRA Cloud is extremely robust security. Any object shared through ASTRA Cloud is heavily encrypted, using a proprietary combination of object-unique symmetric keys, coupled with asymmetric encryption. All communications occurs over SSL. Only the object’s original owner and the intended recipient possess the ability to decrypt it.
Effortless Data Sharing
ASTRA Cloud allows users to securely share studies with external physicians and remote facilities. Complete studies can be shared in their original DICOM format with other ImageGrid systems or with ASTRA Plus clients. Study imagery and reports can be shared for visualization purposes to users who only need a thin client (ASTRA Lite) or mobile app (ASTRA Mobile). Any file can also be securely shared with ASTRA Plus.
Seamless Collaboration
Easily connect, compare, and collaborate with your referring physicians. Transfer imaging studies and reports from one facility to another using a single, universal platform without the need for a CD/DVD.
Ultimate Data Protection
Automated backup, user-defined archiving term, and disaster recovery solution for all your patient images and reports.
Multiple Image & Report Viewing Options
