Aurabox vs

USB/CD/DVD

Traditional sharing of medical images via USB drives and CDs is slow, insecure, and inefficient. Aurabox solves this with secure, instant, cloud-based image access and collaboration

Is Aurabox a USB/CD/DVD Replacement?

Aurabox is much more than just an alternative to USB/CD/DVD image transfer. While these physical storage methods require manual transportation and specialised viewing software DICOM installed on the computer, Aurabox enables seamless digital access to medical imaging from any location, eliminating the need for physical storage and reducing the risk of data loss.

USB, CDs, and DVDs are used to transfer medical images in DICOM format, allowing patients and providers to share scans. However, these methods can be slow, insecure, and inconvenient. In contrast, Aurabox is a cloud-based, patient-centric platform that enables healthcare professionals to instantly retrieve, view, and share medical imaging online.

Features

Aurabox is not just a storage solution; it is a comprehensive medical imaging access and collaboration platform. Unlike USB/CD/DVD, which only serve as transport mediums, Aurabox ensures seamless integration into clinical workflows.

USB/CD/DVD

USB/CD/DVD are physical storage devices traditionally used to transfer and store data, including medical images.

  • Requires physical transport, leading to delays in access, risk of damage, loss, or corruption of data
  • No real-time collaboration or online access and lacks direct integration with modern healthcare systems
  • Needs specialised DICOM viewer software for access
  • Limited storage capacity compared to cloud solutions
