An imaging suite keeps studies, suite cameras and the reporting link apart

CT and MR studies were crossing the same switch as the suite cameras and the radiologists' reporting link, and a large study slowed the reading room. The suite now has 10G to the archive, PoE for its cameras and doors, and a reporting path that does not share the clinical VLAN.

An imaging suite keeps studies, suite cameras and the reporting link apart

The need

The imaging suite runs one CT, one MR and two ultrasound rooms, with a small server closet holding the modality transfer nodes. Studies go to PACS across the hospital network, and the radiologists read from a room next door that also hosts the reporting system. Cameras and door control at the suite entrance were added later on the same switch, and a large MR study could slow the reading room while a clinician was waiting.

What was specified

ModelQtyRole in the project
RS1024K-P16-2S-M3Suite cabinet, PoE for entrance cameras and door control, fibre back to the hospital core
RS1025K-8LG-2S-10G2Ten-gigabit study transfer to PACS and the modality nodes
RS1001KP-1S2Single-camera converter for the two corridor positions outside the suite

Why that split

The study transfer is the only heavy flow in the suite, so it gets the 10G ports and a path to PACS that does not depend on the switch carrying cameras. Suite cameras and door control stay on PoE at the entrance, where the cable run is short and a power cycle does not need engineering access. The reporting link sits on its own VLAN so a study copy cannot slow a clinician reading, and the two corridor cameras outside stay on converters rather than pulling a second switch into a clinical corridor.

Result

  • A large study transfers without slowing the reading room.
  • Suite cameras and door control carry their own PoE, on a VLAN apart from studies.
  • The PACS path is a defined 10G link, not a shared best-effort route.

Quantities in the table are the planned build, not a bill of materials for a specific tender.
