About Archive Exporter

Make It Live Consulting is a French consulting firm based in Aubagne, France (13400), founded in 2015.

We develop Archive Exporter, a specialized service for converting Philips Pinnacle³ TAR archives to standardized DICOM RT objects (RTStruct, RTPlan, RTDose, CT Image).

With years of experience in radiotherapy data management, I developed Archive Exporter to address a critical need: converting proprietary Pinnacle TAR archives to the universal DICOM standard before the December 31, 2026 end-of-support deadline.

My work focuses on ensuring data integrity throughout the conversion process, with comprehensive validation to guarantee clinical accuracy.

Archive Exporter reads Philips Pinnacle³ TAR archives (from version 6 to the latest) and converts them to fully compliant DICOM RT objects:

• RTStruct - Structure sets with contours
• RTPlan - Treatment plan parameters
• RTDose - Dose distributions
• CT Image - Planning CT series

The conversion typically reduces storage footprint by ~50% while preserving all clinical data.

Every conversion follows a proven methodology:

1. Automated integrity checks on all input archives
2. Sample batch conversion for client verification
3. Cross-reference validation of all DICOM relationships
4. DICOM compliance validation against PS3.3 standards
5. Detailed export report with comprehensive documentation

With Philips Pinnacle³ reaching end of support on December 31, 2026, departments need a reliable way to migrate their historical archives. Archive Exporter provides:

• Data preservation - Ensures no clinical data is lost during migration
• Standard compliance - Produces fully DICOM-compliant RT objects
• Future-proofing - DICOM files are compatible with all modern TPS and PACS
• Storage optimization - ~50% reduction in storage footprint
