A GIMS (global imaging management system) suits to each image-producing department: radiology, cardiology, endoscopy and sonography (gastro-enterology, pneumology, urology, otorhinolaryngology, orthopedy, gynaecology), dermatology, opthalmology, microscopy.

That universal management system avoids the multiplication of different subsystems requiring complicated and expensive crossed integrations.
It is based on the concept of one single "patient-bag" and built around one single database containing together the identity parameters, the images (in any format), the annexed documents, the text and/or voice of the report, several specific schemes supporting annotations and drawings and annexed to the report.

Some features of the GIMS are used by all the imaging departments; other features are more dedicated to some specific departments:

Features useful to all departments:
- the sophisticated scheduling of each type of study in each department,
- the worklist, active at each step, including before the capture of any data or image
- the storage in any format, with optional conversion into DICOM or DICOM multiframe at the capture or at the output
- the record of voice and/or text of the report
- a typist module supporting an even remote dactylography
- an optional automatic voice-to-text, with secondary validation
- selected pictures or specific schemes to be annexed to the reports or inserted in their body.
- multimonitor, with possible triptych structure (2 monitors for the viewing, 1 monitor for the data or the text)
- option of special diagnostic station based on a video signal, and frame-grabbing the static or cinematic analogue images by converting them into DICOM or DICOM multiframe before or after the diagnosis
- interactive teleconferencing
- CD/ DVD export, with indexing
- integration with robots of CD/DVD imager
- film and paper composer
- reconciliation (dynamic matching) of the studies that stem from a modality being not client of the worklist server, and merge or splitting of exams
- possible failover, easy to configure
- optional websolution usable from home, with some special features, like a cache, and a prefetching starting by the urgent studies and useful in case of narrow bandwidth; webaccess to the pictures and to the voice or text of the report
- full integration with other systems:
     * with other PACS or datacenter: DICOM-send (C-Store), query-retrieve (C-Find and C-Move)
     * with KIS: in HL7
     * with PIS: in HL7 or in BDT/GDT

Features of EMS (endoscopy management system)
- workflow monitoring at the preparation of the endoscopes. Storage of those traceability-related data
- capture of analog images (S-Video stemming for the endoscope processor), of digital non DICOM images (JPG, MPG2, MPEG4), and of digital DICOM images. Conversion of the non-DICOM images or runs, into static DICOM or into cinematic DICOM multiframe
- displaying of the images and of the runs, either in their native format, or after their conversion into DICOM
- global viewing of together the pictures in any format, of the measurements and electronic signals, of the report text to be created, and of the data related to patient, study and endoscope
- reporting (free text, voice-to-text integration, tools of help to the reporting, optional inserting of selected images or of measurements having been received in SR)

Features of UMS (ultrasound management system)
- capture of analogue images and of digital (non DICOM or DICOM) images. The acquisition module can convert the non-DICOM images or runs, into static DICOM or into cinematic DICOM multiframe, in a full worklist environment
- displaying of the images and of the runs, either in their native format, or after their conversion into DICOM
- viewing of static images and of dynamic runs
- all tools of measurement, annotation and drawing
- capture, storage and viewing of the measurements received from the echographe in DICOM SR, injection and editability of those measurements in the form preparing a customized report of echography
- global viewing of together the pictures in any format, the measurements and electronic signals, the report text to be created, and the data related to patient and study
- film and paper composer
- reporting (free text, voice-to-text integration, tools of help to the reporting, optional inserting of selected images or of measurements having been received in SR)

Features of CMS (cardiology management system)
- viewing of static images and of dynamic runs (cineloop of KTL, with inclusion of the ECG)
- acquisition module for non-DICOM pictures; conversion into DICOM, in a full worklist environment
- storage of various electronic records (ECG, Holter, pressure monitoring, spirometry, etc)
- capture, storage and viewing of the measurements received from the cardio echographe in DICOM SR, injection and editability of those measurements in the form preparing a customized report of cardiac echography
- global viewing of together the pictures in any format, of the measurements and electronic signals, of the report text to be created, and of the data related to patient and study
- reporting (free text, voice-to-text integration, tools of help to the reporting, optional inserting of selected images or of measurements having been received in SR)

Features of RMS (radiology management system)
- all tools of measurement, annotation and drawing
- cineloop and stack mode
- optional plug-in of 3D
- film and paper composer

Features relevant for microscopy, ophtalmology, dermatology
- reception of the patient data and creation of the study data
- capture, storage and displaying of the JPG picture; conversion into DICOM in the worklist environment
- reporting (free text, voice-to-text integration, tools of help to the reporting, optional inserting of selected images)
