Medical imaging is entering a new era—where speed, mobility, and intelligent workflows matter more than ever. Traditional PACS and workstation-bound viewers, once considered state-of-the-art, now struggle to meet the expectations of modern radiology: instant access, collaborative workflows, cost-efficient infrastructure, seamless reporting, and readiness for AI.
Novel, the next-generation web-based diagnostic viewer developed by MINNOVAA, was built precisely for this shift. It blends the power of an enterprise-grade PACS with the accessibility of a zero-footprint web viewer—delivering a unified, fast, secure, and clinically advanced imaging experience. Novel is not a viewer attached to a PACS; Novel is the PACS and the viewer together.
Introducing Novel — A Modern Imaging Platform Designed for the Future
Novel redefines what a web-based diagnostic viewer can be. Instead of simply allowing images to be “viewed in a browser,” Novel delivers a full diagnostic-ready experience through the web—complete with advanced tools, real-time rendering, optimized streaming, and deeply integrated workflows.
Built on state-of-the-art web technologies (HTML5, WebGL, optimized DICOM streaming), Novel enables radiologists and clinicians to access diagnostic-quality images from any device, anywhere, without installation or plugins.
Whether accessed from a workstation, laptop, tablet, or even mobile phone, Novel ensures a consistently fast, stable, and secure viewing experience.
Zero-Footprint, Fully Web-Based Architecture
Novel’s architecture eliminates the traditional dependency on workstation installations, thick clients, or local configurations.
✔ No installation
✔ No dedicated hardware
✔ Access from any browser, any OS, any device
This zero-footprint approach dramatically simplifies deployment across imaging centers, reduces IT maintenance costs, and enables radiologists to work remotely with full diagnostic capability.
Optimized Performance: Faster Image Delivery, Smarter Streaming
Novel intelligently handles DICOM data to deliver exceptional performance:
- Adaptive, progressive streaming for fast first-interaction
- Smart prefetch to load relevant series before the user navigates
- JPEG-2000 and advanced compression for high-quality yet storage-efficient images
- Optimized memory management for large studies and heavy multi-series work
For the user, this translates into a smooth, instant, and latency-minimal experience—whether working onsite or remotely.
Advanced Tools for Diagnostic-Grade Interpretation
Novel is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced imaging tools, enabling radiologists to make accurate, rapid, and confident decisions—all through the web.
🔹 Multi-Planar Reconstruction (MPR)
Axial, sagittal, coronal, oblique—intuitive and fluid navigation through volumetric data.
🔹 DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography)
Automated subtraction and vessel enhancement for vascular studies.
🔹 Smart Hanging Protocol
Automatically arranges multi-series exams into optimal diagnostic layouts, synchronizing priors and streamlining the radiologist’s reading workflow.
🔹 Comprehensive Annotation Suite
Measurements, angles, freehand, ROI, reference lines, key objects, and more.
All powered by responsive rendering, fast interaction, and a clean, radiologist-centric interface.
Unified Reporting Workflow — Diagnose and Report Without Switching Systems
Novel deeply integrates viewing with reporting—eliminating the disconnect that exists between traditional PACS and Reporting Systems.
Key reporting capabilities include:
- Structured report templates
- Keyboard shortcuts and smart text automation
- Speech-to-text integration
- Voice reporting
- Observation tagging
- Digital signature support
- Side-by-side view and documentation workflow
Radiologists can create and finalize diagnostic reports directly while viewing images—streamlined, coherent, and optimized for speed.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Compliance
Designed for mission-critical medical environments, Novel adheres to strict security and interoperability standards:
- End-to-end encrypted communication
- Role-based access control
- Full audit trails
- VPN/SSL secure gateway
- Strict compliance with DICOM & IHE profiles
- Seamless integration with RIS/HIS
Novel ensures that clinical data remains protected at every stage—access, transmission, storage, and sharing.
Seamless Connectivity, Sharing & Multi-Center Readiness
Novel enables secure sharing without CDs, films, or downloads:
- Auto-generated secure sharing links for physicians and patients
- Mobile-friendly viewer for remote consultations
- Multi-center architecture ready for networks and teleradiology
- Unified user access across locations and devices
This flexibility empowers imaging centers to expand services, optimize workflows, and operate more efficiently across distributed teams.
AI-Ready by Design — Powered by the Zharfa Ecosystem
Novel integrates natively with Zharfa, MINNOVAA’s AI-enabler platform, to bring machine intelligence directly into the diagnostic workflow.
- Inline AI inference
- Automated triage
- Model-based quantitative analysis
Novel is built to embrace the future of AI-driven radiology—not as an add-on but as a core capability.
A Complete Imaging Ecosystem — Not Just a Viewer
With Novel, imaging centers receive:
- PACS Server
- Web Viewer
- Advanced Visualization Tools
- Workflow & Reporting Engine
- Storage Optimization
- AI Integration (via Zharfa)
- Multi-center scalability
- All in one unified and modern
Conclusion — Redefining the Standard for Web-Based Diagnostic Imaging
Novel represents a new standard for what medical imaging software should be:
- fast,
- secure,
- intelligent,
- accessible,
- clinically powerful,
- and future-ready.
For imaging centers seeking to upgrade their workflow, eliminate legacy limitations, and prepare for an AI-driven future, Novel is not just an option—it is the evolution of diagnostic imaging.
