Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery Enterprise-wide PACS: Beyond Radiology, an Architecture to Manage All Medical Images1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Materials and Methods. We present our preliminarily results toward an enterprise-wide PACS intended to support all kind of image production in medicine, from biomolecular images to whole-body pictures. Our solution is based on an existing radiologic PACS system from which images are distributed through an electronic patient record to all care facilities. This platform is enriched with a flexible integration framework supporting digital image communication in medicine (DICOM) and DICOM-XML formats. In addition, a generic workflow engine highly customizable is used to drive work processes.

PACS and Unread Images1
In many circles, the justification for purchasing a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) has already been settled because of the proliferation of image data. A PACS is used to acquire medical images digitally from the various modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and digital radiography (1). The need to manage, ...
متن کاملConsolidation and integration dominate PACS and RIS offerings
Growing interest in enterprise distribution of images has prompted the major film and modality vendors to look beyond radiology and cardiology for new business. New marketing strategies are designed to bridge the gap between the radiology department and everyone else. The message is less about the technology and more about the process of adopting it. "Workflow" has replaced "image quality" as t...
