About the CS Series of Products
The CS Series of products provides sites with the ability to use a full range of
RIS/PACS features on customer-supplied client stations. The CS Series expands
the set of application features previously supported on customer-supplied
hardware.
Advantages of customer-supplied hardware
Sites request customer-supplied client stations for several reasons:
Cost reduction by installing DR Systems RIS client software on existing
stations.
When replacing a PACS from another vendor, ability to run DR Systems
PACS client software on the existing hardware of the replaced PACS
system.
Preferred hardware platforms and vendors mandated by the facility’s IT
department. The IT department also wants to administer the stations.
Ability to run additional programs on a workstation. The standard
RIS/PACS workstations supplied by DR Systems have access restrictions
to ensure data security, because of they connect directly to the PACS
Central Server. In CS Series products, you can access other programs
including File Explorer and the Command Prompt.
Customer responsibilities
The system administrator at your site is responsible for:
Software installation.
First-line software support for your users.
Hardware support.
