1.1 Overview
This guide provides instructions for operating and maintaining the Cenova™ Image
Analytics Server in the clinical environment. The server processes mammography images
using proprietary software algorithms.
The Cenova server is a high-performance application server that provides proprietary
software applications to assist radiologists in the analysis of digital mammography
images. Cenova server is designed to be used by radiologists working in a hospital,
outpatient clinic, or a breast imaging center. The server also may be used for research-
related activities.
The server can be located in any non-patient environment, provided it is connected to the
mammography network. Once configured, little direct interaction with the server is
necessary. Any interaction is through a user-friendly web browser interface.
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is an international
standard used for developing, transmitting, printing, and archiving medical
imaging information. Hologic uses the following DICOM standard designations for
digital mammography images:
