Ultrasonix, a developer of diagnostic ultrasound imaging systems, has introduced SonixVCR, a software-based product that records, stores and exports entire exams in a small compressed digital format.

SonixVCR, available on the Sonix Series of ultrasound systems, is an easy to use on-board recording feature that is enabled with the click of 1-button and can record up to 60 minutes of imaging per file without the need for any additional hardware or external recording device.

SonixVCR files are compressed and saved as MPEG1 recordings and can be easily stored or shared electronically within the same HIPPA Compliance Protocols as still or multi-frame images and as they are in a digital format they will not degrade over time as compared to traditional storage media such as VCR tapes or CD/DVD discs.

SonixVCR files can be easily distributed for review and also transfered to SonixHUB, an Ultrasonix exclusive exam management, credentialing and archiving solution.

Ultrasonix said that SonixVCR, partnered with SonixHUB, provides users with a superior workflow solution to archive, review and store comprehensive files of a patient’s entire exam data.
