Web base application sever; tomcat Apache technology.
Include Dicom server and MySQL database management.
Venus Explorer Processing Server
Venus Explorer Processing software Venus Explorer Processing is a null client installation and a navigator is used to access to the
applications.
Venus Explorer Processing Client licences are floating (concurrent); allow the software to be loaded
on multiple PC’s for concurrent user login.
Some third party options (i.e. Cedars) are either fixed (node-locked) or floating (concurrent).
Fixed Client licence is node-locked to a certain IP address on the network.
Floating Client licence provides access from any Windows PC on the network (with
compatible graphic board & memory) and concurrent access is only limited by the number of
Venus Explorer Processing Client licences purchased.
Venus Explorer Processing™ - run on any hardware (PC, MAC,…); the process is done an
application server; client access through a web navigator.

& support you quickly & efficiently.
EFFICIENT ARCHITECTURE
The Venus Explorer Processing Client/Server architecture provides an efficient infrastructure for
data and application management.
Allows remote-access
The Venus Explorer Processing data architecture is very much like a PACS system as it deploys a
redundant central database for all NM data.
Venus Explorer Processing is fully DICOM compliant and integrates non-DICOM compliant sources
through an optional system.
Use sophisticated DICOM library; include Cardio (EKG, etc.)
Expandable: Venus Explorer Processing is the first system of its kind that provides you completely
expendable application delivery architecture no matter what the future may hold.
COST EFFECTIVE
Client runs on standard PC hardware.
Applications reside on the server side and are very fast downloaded to the client when needed.
Processing is performed on the client.
Each clinical application can be licensed separately which means you only pay for the software you
really need.
Also, it allows you to start with Venus Explorer Processing with a minimum investment and add more
users and capabilities over time.

PACS COMPATIBLE
Designed as the NM complement of modern PACS systems with integration support for legacy cameras
and data formats.
OPEN
Allows for tight integration of common third party applications (e-g: cardiology - Cedars / Emory /
4DMSPECT Michigan).
BLAZINGLY FAST
The Venus Explorer Processing display engine capitalizes on the extreme processing power
available in modern graphics cards: the utilization of GPU for display and computations maximizes
performance while reducing CPU loads (processing on client stations).
Venus Explorer Processing architecture utilizes the available power of OpenGL to the fullest extend.
The result is immediately obvious as the display interactions on large datasets and 3D renderings are
blazingly fast.
Offers an instant access to data loaded from PACS & server.
NON OBSOLESCENCE
Fully protected against future changes in instrumentation.
VENDOR NEUTRAL
Venus Explorer Processing is a vendor-neutral multimodality processing & multimodality platform
for Nuclear Medicine which maintains data integrity across all vendor platforms, providing you with all
freedom of choice for new cameras & PET/CT scanners purchases.
QUALITY DRIVEN
All Venus Explorer Processing software library is CE Mark (Europe).
Venus Explorer Processing complies with HIPAA, EU privacy laws.
NICESOFT is ISO & CMRD certified.
VALIDATED
Venus Explorer Processing software library & applications are validated & tested and have been used clinically
for part of the software library since 1998.
