How to manage a vast image archive?
Many companies have an immense image archives of pictures that have been piling up for the past years on some storage system o, even worse, several of them. The time has come to convert this simple stored files into a company asset that you can use for almost any purpose, be it marketing, internal training, documentation, or whatever. You just need the right tool for it…
Where is your image archive?
The rise of digital photography and the easy with that pictures are taken nowadays has resulted in enormous image archives both in your private life, and in your work life. Every company, nowadays, has hundreds or thousands of digital photos lying around on hard disks or other storage media. Product presentations, events, R&D pictures…digital images are taken everywhere.
And many companies do not realize that they represent a really valuable asset that can be used and exploited. But for that you need to consolidate the different image storage locations in one place and use some kind of digital asset management (DAM) software, so you can tag the images appropriately and retrieve them whenever you need.
Collecting and storing pictures is not the same as being able to find what you need in the pool of images. With a DAM you can do exactly that. And the process is easier than you may think.
Deduplication
One important thing when archiving your photo collection is considering the space it takes up. Or, more to the point: the space it takes up unnecessarily. For example, by having multiples copies of the same picture, which is really redundant and not necessary. But how come there are multiple copies in the first place? Well, there can be a number of reasons. First of all, when different people look for images on the web, they may find the same one, and store it. Or image collections are managed by several people and become duplicated. Or individual files are copied to another place and then reunited with the original copies. The result is that in any picture collection there are duplicates.
So before archiving the whole thing, it is a good practice to do some cleaning, in the form of deduplication. There any number of utilities that do this and help you delete the excess copies of the same files. They even detect images that are different sizes, mirrored, cropped, etc. After a good deduplication, your collection is ready to be analyzed and catalogued properly.
Organizing by AI
Traditionally, sorting a picture collection is a tremendous amount of work. You have to look at the images, write down what they contain and add the metadata either to the EXIF field or to external metadata files (like XMP) if the original file format does not support EXIF. This is fine for 25 images, maybe 100, but not several thousand. Hence some help is needed.
And it comes in the form of AI, as many other things nowadays. Modern media archiving solutions, like our own Videoma Archive, use AI analyzers to open the images and “look” at them, identifying everything they contain. It can find faces, places, objects, and make general descriptions of the image content, like “trees, street, houses, bench, people” which is very much appreciated when archiving a picture collection. All of this information is stored as metadata together with the image and can be edited or completed by hand if necessary. That way, you can organize and tag your picture collection automatically in 24/7 and only change what you need, when you need it. Usually, over 90% of the info is added correctly by the system, so you don’t need to spend much time revising the keywords and tags. And, if you want to, it can also unify the picture formats into a specific one (usually JPG) but always keeping the original linked, for when you need it.
A powerful search is always needed
Once you have your picture collection indexed, you are ready to put it to good use in the company. And for that, you need a powerful search engine. Because not finding that picture of last year’s product presentation is equivalent to not having that picture at all. So you need a really powerful search engine, once you have all your images organized, to find them again and repurpose them.
In the case of Videoma, as the system tags everything, you can have potentially dozens of keywords for each picture describing its content. With the help of a search and filters you can find exactly what you need, if it is present somewhere in your collection. And them export it easily, either in the original format or converted to a generic one like JPG.
Use the cloud
We live in the era of cloud. There is no doubt about it. And this means that your picture collection is a good candidate to end up online, simplifying access from anywhere, by any device. But that is not the only advantage. You also get geographic redundancy in the storage systems, automatic backups, and a secure access, which is always nice to have, especially when you put your image collection online, so non-authorized people cannot access it.
Therefore, having your images in the cloud is always a win-win situation and allows easy access from other branches of the same company or organization, even if in other countries.
Conclusion
Ours is a visual world. Most of the storytelling you can see on the web has a big visual factor in it. Pictures are everywhere. That’s why you need to organize and manage your company’s image assets in order to make them retrievable for anyone to get some value out of them. If you put your DAM (Digital Asset Management) in the cloud, you get some additional nice-to-have features, like universal secure access, and unlimited scalability. That, together with a powerful search engine, can provide you with the means to monetize your image collection properly. Or, at least, make it really useful for the company.

It will present its latest developments from Videoma, its enterprise video content management (EVCM) platform.
AI and the multimedia sector
The last 12 months have seen a dramatic transformation of the artificial intelligence landscape with the emergence of generative AI. But in the multimedia sector, artificial intelligence has long been helping in the organization and analysis of audio, video and photo material. In music, AI helps to improve sound quality or recover damaged files, and in images, artificial intelligence has infinite applications: from restoring or colorizing old photos automatically, to improving colors, eliminating unwanted objects or scaling images to sizes much larger than the original, almost without losses.
At ISE 2024 there will be various conferences that revolve around the theme “Smart”, touching on many areas and in which variations of AI help in daily or creative tasks in the audio and video sector. For this reason ISID will show its flagship, Videoma Archivo, and the platform’s applications to the sector.

Integrating AI Diagnostics in a HIS
2023 will undoubtedly go down as “the year of AI”. It all started with ChatGPT, but every major company is now working on some AI application in their field. In healthcare, however, this process has been going on for some years now. And it is at the stage where it can be used to diagnose medical imaging or video, looking for anomalies.
AI can help in medical imaging diagnostics
Analyzing medical images, like X-Rays, MRI or CT Scans, as well as ultrasound images or videos is hard. That is why it takes a lot of training to become a proficient radiologist, with the ability to spot changes in normal human tissues and make correct diagnosis. But, as with many other fields, artificial intelligence has also arrived in the medical sector. It is able to do a lot of things, as we are seeing in this trilogy of articles, but one of the most interesting is the possibility of doing diagnostics in medical imaging.
A properly trained AI model, that has been shown hundreds or thousands of digital medical images and videos, like those from modern X-Ray machines, or MRI, CT Scan or PET scans, can be able to spot anomalies in the tissues. Sometimes even those small anomalies that a human would not notice or see.
Early warning with AI
But why should this be important? Isn’t an experienced human radiologist better than any AI. Yes, he or she is. But, and there is a ‘but’ here, if the changes are small, the human eye, however experienced, may not notice them or dismiss them. This means that the artificial intelligence image analysis, which has received many thousands of images, could to a diagnostic or prognosis quicker and earlier than the human counterpart. And this, in turn, can help save lives. The beginning of a tumor or other anomaly, spotted by an AI algorithm before a human radiologist, can instigate further investigation by the medical professional, like additional tests or bloodwork. And this could help finding the beginning of an illness than then can be treated earlier, with a higher success rate.
What else can a medical AI help with?
Actually, almost with everything. The fact that an AI algorithm has to be trained first to be effective, is the key point here. Just like a doctor has be trained in different areas, the same can be done to an AI. In fact, an AI can be trained far more specifically than any human could, because all the AI models rely on two things: the model itself, and the data it has been trained on/is still being trained with each new patient. This allows for a kind of specialization that is difficult to achieve as a person. We can’t deal with immense amounts of data as easily as a machine can. But artificial intelligence has much more application than only image diagnosis. Here are some of them:
- Image Analysis and Interpretation. That’s the one we’ve been talking about and is only here to complete the list. AI algorithms can identify and outline abnormalities, tumors, or specific structures in medical images, helping radiologists in their analysis giving a “second opinion”.
- Quantitative Analysis. AI can provide precise measurements and quantitative data from medical images, aiding in the assessment of disease progression and treatment effectiveness. This can be very useful in medical research, for example.
- Early Warning Systems. We’ve also talked about these. The precision of an artificial vision system can surpass human abilities and detect anomalies much smaller than a person, thus raising an alarm, and starting treatment earlier.
- Tailored treatments. Artificial intelligence is able to devise personal treatment plans based on all the patient’s information, and the success rates of different drugs on similar patients, taking into account individual variations in anatomy and pathology.
- Automation. Routine or repetitive tasks, such as image preprocessing and quality control, can be automated, saving time for healthcare professionals, who can do higher value work.
- Workflow optimization. AI can enhance the speed of image analysis and interpretation, leading to faster diagnosis and treatment decisions. Besides, the algorithms can improve the quality of medical images, making it easier for healthcare professionals to interpret and diagnose.
- Reducing workload. By automating routine tasks (as seen in point 5), AI can reduce the workload on healthcare professionals, allowing them to focus on more complex cases and spend more time with patients.
- Decision Support Systems. Very close to the “second opinion” topic, AI can serve as a tool for radiologists and surgeons, providing additional insights and offering recommendations based on its analysis of hundreds of similar medical images.
- Training and Education. Although we are going to see a take on this in part III of this series, AI can be used in educational settings to simulate and generate medical imaging scenarios for training purposes, allowing healthcare professionals to enhance their skills.
Conclusion
In summary, AI in medical imaging, like our own Videomed contributes to more accurate diagnoses, improved patient treatments, and increased efficiency in healthcare workflows. One very important point is that AI is not going to substitute medical professionals, but complement them. We are still at the beginning and new fields and uses are going to be discovered in the upcoming years.
In our last article in this series of three, we are going to have a look on surgical recordings and how they can be used not only for training doctors and nurses, but also for other purposes thanks to the intervention of AI. To see first part here.

Medical video in a PACS and a HIS
Digital Medical Imaging is an important part of the modern diagnostic process. Be it X-Rays, CT Scans, MRIs or ultrasound machines, all of them produce DICOM images today, so the doctors can see them on screen at any point. But the reality isn’t so rosy at all…
Format incompatibility
In today’s healthcare, medical imaging has an ever more important role when diagnosing a patient’s condition. The systems have gotten so advanced and have such good resolution, that diagnostics are made with more certainty than ever. But, in contrast to the imaging “of old” (where “old” is just a couple of years back), today most of the medical imaging devices generate digital files, instead of having to develop film or the like.
On top of that, most of them do not generate only static images, but also video files. For these images there is the DICOM format (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) which is a standard protocol for the management and transmission of medical images and related data. In fact, DICOM also supports several video formats as well as multiframe images, like the ones in CT scans. However, this is where the problems arise. Most vendors have a particular interpretation of their image formats, in order to lock the hospital to that particular brand, avoiding too much compatibility with the rest of the competing vendors.
The resulting scenario is one in which the medical professional cannot always use a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) to access the images from his or her office, but has to go physically to the machine in question that did the images, and watch them there. The fact that DICOM uses no compression in the images to avoid artifacts (that could be misleading the doctor or radiologist) is one of the reasons. When recording video this also intensifies, as these files are so huge, that they usually cannot be transmitted over the hospital network in an efficient way. Hence the doctor has to go to the machine and watch the exploration video in situ. And this is far from ideal.
Information scattering
This situation leads to losing an enormous amount of time when doing one simple diagnostic, especially if the hospital is big. If you multiply this by all the patients that have imaging done, and the doctors that have to run around the hospital to gather all the information they need in order to make an accurate diagnostic, is it easy to see that this information scattering is not only costing time, but also money. And that the medical care quality suffers greatly under it.
The solution for DICOM images is usually the aforementioned PACS, which can be accessed from any computer in the hospital (or outside of it, depending on the security rules enforced). But most PACS do not support video directly, for a variety of reasons, chief among which is the file size and different formats. Hence the information scattering continues, because some data is in the HIS (patient data), some in the PACS (static images) and some on individual machines (medical video).
Images and video in the PACS
But there is a solution to this: adding a secondary video PACS can solve the problem of viewing medical video directly from the doctor’s office, without having to change the hardware or software in the hospital. It just needs to add the secondary video PACS, which integrates with the current PACS and, as we will see in a bit, also with the HIS. Videomed PACS is such a secondary video PACS.
What the secondary PACS does is gathering all the video from the machines by direct connection to the network and storing it centrally. Then all the formats are unified to a single one, usually a high quality MP4. This proxy file then can be viewed with ease and needing a low network bandwidth, from anywhere in the hospital, just be connecting to the PACS. If the doctor or surgeon needs to see the original file, this is also possible over a high speed network connection but, instead of involving the PACS, which may be used by all of the hospital constantly, the video is provided by the secondary PACS instead, taking load from the main PACS.
On top of this, the system anonymizes all the patient data for privacy and compliance reasons, so it never leaves the HIS or main PACS. And it is possible to specify retention periods for the videos (due to the space they take up in the system), so they are converted into lower resolution copies after a time. This makes for efficient storage, and keeps the system tidy, without losing any information.
And on top of this, platforms like Videomed PACS make use of artificial intelligence analyzers in order to catalogue the videos automatically, helping to speed the process up further, putting everything into place without human intervention. And, as we will see in part II of this series, it can integrate diagnostic AI analyzers as well, providing even more help for radiologists or surgeons, who can rely on a “second opinion” of the AI system.
One central command point: the HIS
The use of a secondary PACS has another advantage: it can be integrated directly with the HIS, so all of the information can be retrieved together with all of the other patient record. In fact, with this system, you can integrate clips of important diagnostic videos directly in the HIS. The integrated viewer gets the data from the secondary PACS in a transparent manner, but it is all viewed inside the HIS, which is the central point for the doctors, so all of the information is on one screen, helping make better and quicker diagnostics. This way, the medical professional doesn’t have to walk through the hospital to gather everything he needs for a single patient, and can work much more efficiently.
Conclusion
To avoid scattering of medical video through a hospital or clinic, a secondary video PACS is the best solution, as it provides integration into the regular PACS, as well as the Hospital Information System, so the doctors can get all the diagnostic information they need in one place, all at once, and can work more efficiently, with all the data at hand.
In our next article in this series of three, we are going to talk about how AI Diagnostics are helping doctors and surgeons make better and quicker diagnostics. We’ll conclude the series with a look on surgical recordings and how they can be used not only for training doctors and nurses, but also for other purposes.

It brings together professionals and technologies for the integration of multiple converging sectors with a special focus on Latin America. At ISID we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attend to exchange knowledge with other professionals in the audio and video sector, as well as artificial intelligence applied to these areas.
The Latin American market is of great relevance for ISID and therefore the opportunities to network, meet local manufacturers and integrators first-hand, and share knowledge with other professionals and experts are very valuable for us. We already have some projects in Latin America, for example in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru and our goal is to better understand the South American market, to adapt our technology to local markets and thus offer maximum value.
On the other hand, IntegraTEC was the perfect setting to show our latest innovations in AV analysis and archiving technology, as well as our products, such as Videoma Archive. Our audio and video processing, analysis, management and storage platform integrates advanced AI modules and is currently used in multiple sectors, such as Security, Government and Public Administration, Communication Agencies, Education, Media Banks, Health and Legal.
We will also attend the next edition of IntegraTEC, which will be held on August 14 and 15, 2024 in Mexico.
