Software package components.

01 Servers Utilizes multiple servers operating on Windows.
02 Software for Image Viewing Software tailored for viewing DICOM images of computer tomography.
03 File Storage Dedicated storage for examination results.
04 Patient Directory Interface to display patient list and initiate selected examinations.
05 Database Maintains a database to store directories of clinics and their associated doctors.

Server access is facilitated through the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). This enables the integrated software to relay data using the default Windows application designed for interacting with remote servers. Notably, the server can accommodate multiple users logging in under a singular account. For security purposes, the configuration ensures that only the user interface (or shell) is visible upon login, with all access to other windows being strictly restricted.

Diagnost's modules

01 Database Module Database Module
  • Patient list creation.
  • Display of full patient names with corresponding examinations.
  • Identification of software tools where results are stored.
  • Patient selection for examination result viewing.
02 Launch Module Launch Module Initiation of dental software.
03 Preview Module Preview Module Preliminary viewing of examination outcomes.
04 Results Preparation Module Results Preparation Module Production of files for offline computed tomography result viewing on any computer, eliminating the need for additional software installation.
05 Survey Unloading Module Survey Unloading Module Automated view of medical surveys from Cloud@mail.ru, Yandex.Disk, or Google Drive. Sending of the download link either to the patient's email or the clinic's doctor. электронную почту пациента или врача клиники.
06 Feedback Module Feedback Module Facilitates communication by sending messages to administrators. Logging of callback requests.
07 Administration Module Administration Module Editing capabilities for clinic listings, doctors, and system administrators.
08 Logging Module Logging Module A dedicated module for error tracking and documentation.

The core of the system is a desktop application housed on the server. Upon connection, users are instantly presented with a window showcasing a list of their clinic's patients, eliminating the need for launching any additional software. The system incorporates various user roles, each with distinct access permissions: user, administrator, and owner.

The Preview Module offers the convenience of viewing a CT scan using the built-in tools of the standard Windows OS without the need for specialized software activation. This file's preparation is overseen by the system administrator during the CT results upload phase to the server.

The database is tailored to accommodate the accounts of doctors, categorized by their affiliated clinics. The system permits the addition of an unlimited number of clinics, and within each clinic, an unlimited roster of doctors can be registered. Each user is allocated a specific storage capacity within the server's disk storage. Thus, as the doctor count escalates, there's a corresponding need to expand the disk storage.

To ensure seamless, concurrent operation for all doctors within the system, a high-performance server is imperative. The optimal server configuration is determined through a series of formulas:

  • Total threads of all processors = N + 2;
  • RAM requirement = N х (3 GB + 4 GB), where N represents the count of simultaneous sessions.
