1 24, rue du champ de l Alouette F Paris, France Venus Explorer Processing Technical specifications Venus Explorer Processing Server software 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. 24 rue du champ de l Alouette Paris - France - RCS PARIS B B04764 Tel: Fax:

SPECIALIZED Venus Explorer Processing specializes in customized, turnkey Nuclear Medicine, SPECT/PET/CT/MR and multimodality imaging solutions including seamless connectivity, uniform processing platform, multi-format archiving & remote reading distribution. CUSTOMER FOCUSED All Venus Explorer Processing software can be tailored to meet specific Nuclear Medicine and SPECT/PET/CT/ MR department needs. NICESOFT features personalized onsite and remote customer support to assist & 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. 3

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

4 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
