SCO and CTO Proprietary file conversion to BTO for Mammography and Breast Imaging
In breast imaging environments, workflow bottlenecks can arise when proprietary image formats, such as Computed Tomography Object (CTO) and Secondary Capture Object (SCO), are used. These formats are incompatible with specific viewers and do not conform to the Breast Tomosynthesis Object (BTO) format, the industry standard for mammography interoperability. Recognizing which proprietary files are present in the workflow and obtaining the appropriate tools for conversion will help streamline imaging workflows.
The Unifier® Enterprise Imaging Platform addresses these challenges head-on. Purpose-built for complex imaging environments, Unifier detects and converts proprietary mammography file types (CTO, SCO) into standard BTOs, ensuring compatibility across systems and facilities.
- Proprietary file conversion: Automatically convert SCO and CTO files into BTO-compliant DICOM objects.
- Intelligent prior retrieval: Locate and prioritize relevant mammography priors regardless of location or origin.
- DICOM modality worklist (DMWL) modification: Customize worklists to maintain clean, efficient imaging operations.
- Query/Retrieve proxy capabilities: Enable seamless cross-system communication without disruption.
- On-the-fly image compression and transfer optimization: Improve network efficiency for high-volume breast imaging studies.
- Workload balancing and study routing: Distribute imaging studies efficiently across radiology resources to optimize resource utilization.
- Third-party tool integration: Easily incorporate AI or post-processing applications without additional infrastructure.
