It is the same DICOM engine already running in NewVision ultrasound and ophthalmic installations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-cta\">\n<p>Need the paperwork before the meeting?

In hospitals that already own a PACS, NewVision usually feeds it rather than competes with it.<\/p>\n<h3>Does the video get compressed lossily?<\/h3>\n<p>Stills can be archived with lossless JPEG so the diagnostic image is preserved. Video is handled according to what the processor produces and what the receiving archive accepts; we set this explicitly at commissioning rather than leaving it to a default.<\/p>\n<h3>Will our PACS accept endoscopic objects?<\/h3>\n<p>Most modern PACS do. The practical checks are which SOP classes it accepts, whether it takes multi-frame objects, and its storage policy for video. We validate against your PACS during installation, the same way the ultrasound DICOM transfer was validated on a Canon (Toshiba) system at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you support DICOM Structured Reports?<\/h3>\n<p>SR objects are parsed when the device sends them, so device-generated data populates the report automatically. Where the processor emits no SR, findings come from the <a href=\"\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/report-templates\/\">structured template<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you send to two archives at once?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Forwarding to a second destination \u2014 a research archive, a group-level PACS, or a disaster-recovery copy \u2014 is a configuration matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Get the conformance documentation<\/h2>\n<div class=\"nv-cta\">\n<p>We will send the DICOM Conformance Statement and walk your PACS administrator through AE titles, ports and accepted SOP classes before any installation date is agreed. <a href=\"\/en\/contact-us\/\">Contact the team<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"tel:+905437222210\">+90 543 722 22 10<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"nv-note\">Related: <a href=\"\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/\">Endoscopy PACS overview<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/emr-ehr-integration\/\">EMR and EHR integration<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"\/en\/ultrasound-pacs\/\">Ultrasound PACS<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/#organization\",\n      \"name\": \"NewVision\",\n      \"legalName\": \"URAL Telekom\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/\",\n      \"email\": \"info@new-vision.net\",\n      \"telephone\": \"+90-543-722-2210\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/dicom-integration\/#webpage\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/dicom-integration\/\",\n      \"name\": \"DICOM Integration for Endoscopy \u2014 NewVision DICOM Server\",\n      \"inLanguage\": \"en\",\n      \"about\": { \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/#software\" },\n      \"publisher\": { \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/#organization\" }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"BreadcrumbList\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/dicom-integration\/#breadcrumb\",\n      \"itemListElement\": [\n        { \"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 1, \"name\": \"NewVision\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 2, \"name\": \"Endoscopy PACS\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"ListItem\", \"position\": 3, \"name\": \"DICOM integration\", \"item\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/dicom-integration\/\" }\n      ]\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.new-vision.net\/en\/endoscopy-pacs\/dicom-integration\/#faq\",\n      \"mainEntity\": [\n        {\n          \"@type\": \"Question\",\n          \"name\": \"Can NewVision act as the endoscopy PACS itself?\",\n          \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes for units without an enterprise PACS: the DICOM Server plus its indexed archive is a complete storage and retrieval solution.
