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 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.
• Chapter 2: System Description provides a summary of image specifications and data formats passed between the Cenova server and other devices that may be installed at your site. • Chapter 3: System Operation provides information about managing clinical workflow, shutting down and powering up the server, accessing UDI information, and using the Cenova Case Manager.
• The server is intended for use only by personnel who have read this manual and received training on how to use the server. Hologic does not accept responsibility for injury or damage associated with improper or unsafe system operation.
Use of a two-prong adapter disconnects the utility ground and creates a severe shock hazard. • Cenova servers are heavy! If you have any concerns about lifting or positioning the server, request assistance. •...
Film Digitizing Systems: For film mammograms, Cenova processes DigitalNow images originating from any of Hologic’s film-scanning systems. In addition, images produced by any of these systems may be sent to Cenova from a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). For more information about supported input devices, see the manual for the specific software application.
For example, if there are four FFDM devices, then the Cenova server must be configured with four software licenses for each desired Cenova software application. The Cenova server can also process images sent from any number of PACS devices, as long as the images originated from one of the licensed input devices.
2.2. Results from Cenova Cenova sends its results to diagnostic review workstations (such as Hologic SecurView DX) and PACS devices. Depending upon the application, Cenova can transmit results in one or more forms. The table below shows output formats for each application.
1, 2, 3: FFDM systems can be configured to send digital mammography x-ray images to any device that conforms to the DICOM standard. The FFDM device sends two types of images, For Processing images to the Cenova server, and For Presentation images to the diagnostic review workstation(s) and PACS.

6000 interface option, contact your Hologic Account Manager. Image Acquisition System(s) 1, 2, 3, 4: The FFDM device sends For Processing images to the Cenova server, and For Presentation images to the diagnostic review workstation(s), PACS, and DICOM 6000 Interface.
Note: Because of the complex nature of DICOM SR objects, it is likely that only the Hologic SecurView DX workstation will display Biomarker SR objects in the near term. It is for this reason that the Cenova server can be configured instead to send Biomarker results as DICOM Secondary Capture images.
Cenova server. Cenova Server 2: The Cenova server processes the images and sends new DigitalNow HD For Presentation images to a PACS device. 3: As an option, the server can also send the images directly to one or more diagnostic review workstation(s).
3.4. Accessing Unique Device Identifier (UDI) Information 3.5. Using Case Manager Once configured, little direct interaction with the Cenova server is necessary. Any interaction with the server is through a web browser and a user-friendly interface. 3.1. Clinical Workflow To view results produced by the Cenova server with the patient’s mammography...
Server Assigns Images Received After Timeout Elapses to a New Case To reduce the possibility of multiple results, Hologic recommends that images for each patient examination be sent from the image acquisition system together at the close of the study and in rapid succession.
3.3.1. Shutting Down the Server You might need to shut down the Cenova server if you are going to move the computer, or if you know the power is going out for a period of time. Important! If you shut down the server from a remote location, be aware that In order to switch the server back on, you will need to have physical access to the server.
To restart the server: Using a computer that is on the same network as the Cenova server, open a web browser. Type the IP address for the Cenova server in the address box and press .
Launch the Cenova application and log in (see 3.3. Server Startup and Shutdown). The About screen appears. On the About screen, click More Information. UDI information is displayed on the subsequent screen. Cenova™ Image Analytics Server 2.4 User Guide – MAN-03998 Rev 001...
