CLEVELAND, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — MIM Software Inc., a
leading global provider of medical imaging software, announced
today that Mobile MIM™ is available on the U.S. App Store.
This news follows the FDA’s announcement on February 4 that the app
had received 510(k) clearance for remote diagnostic viewing of CT,
PET, MRI, and SPECT images on the iPhone®, iPod touch®, and
iPad®.

The Mobile MIM App is free to download and includes sample
images to demonstrate its functionality. Physicians and other
medical professionals can download images to the device using
MIMcloud™ (www.mimcloud.com), an
Internet-based service which allows secure upload and download of
encrypted medical data. Alternatively, a MIM workstation can be
used at a facility to transmit the images to Mobile MIM. In either
case, Mobile MIM is HIPAA compliant and indicated for use only when
the physician does not have access to a workstation.
“The FDA’s decision to take an active interest in medical
imaging apps being marketed to physicians is an important step for
the future of medicine,” says Mark Cain, CTO of MIM Software. “The
app gives physicians and doctors anytime, anywhere access to
important scans, raising the bar for efficiency, convenience, and
patient care.”
The Mobile MIM App is designed as a thick client, which means
the data is downloaded to the device for viewing instead of being
streamed to the device from a server. To secure the protected
health information, Mobile MIM provides “at rest” encryption
through the use of a passcode and 128-bit AES encryption from
within the app. All transfers use SSL encryption.
Mobile MIM features data set interaction using standard tools,
such as zoom, pan, window and level, and it displays volumetric
data with multi-planar re
