Nil is a pure zero footprint viewer with nothing to install and no restrictions on browser use. Many competing products claim to be zero footprint, but require plugins, specific browser or lack tablet or mobile device support. These limitations diminish the true value of a zero footprint, which decrease cost of ownership by enabling deployment anywhere with minimal IT support.  Many other zero footprint viewers also have extremely basic functionality and severely compromised performance.  By contrast, Nil delivers a fully interactive experience, with functionalities comparable to a dedicated standalone diagnostic workstation, all on a pure zero-footprint platform.
 

Nil comes in multiple flavors:  NilShare is a simple, intuitive, non-diagnostic viewer and collaboration tool for busy referring physicians. NilRead * is a comprehensive diagnostic solution easily deployed anywhere. NilRead supports viewing federated historical patient exams across multiple PACS archives, vendor neutral archives (VNAs) and Health Information Exchanges.  NilRead also supports rules-based hanging protocols for exam viewing according to physician preference and multi-monitor image display. It easily integrates with every DICOM or HL7 network and can be invoked from a RIS or reporting solution.

*investigational use only

The Nil family is a robust set of enterprise viewers supporting DICOM and non-DICOM images across the continuum of care. It allows healthcare personnel to access images and reports from anywhere in the hospital and from different departments. Nil also allows retrieval of historical patient exams from other facilities through XDS-I. Nil is the perfect tool for fulfilling the requirements of “Meaningful Use stage two.

Nil was the first medical solution to introduce real-time image collaboration. Now we are complementing it with a native Skype integration for a truly robust communication. At the touch of a button, you can immediately connect using voice or instant messaging with anyone involved with a particular study. For collaboration beyond the enterprise, NilFeed  image sharing extension allows remote sites to upload or download DICOM studies from a Nil server using only secure HTTPS protocol. It empowers users with easy and secure transfer of studies with minimal IT support.  NilFeed is recognized by a DICOM network as a service class provider, enabling images to be pushed to Nil from any DICOM source.
