This study introduces an accessible Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) using standard PCs and multiple monitors for managing Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images. The system enables efficient review and distribution of medical images, with no diagnostic discrepancies compared to film.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology Informatics
  • Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS)

Background:

  • Traditional film-based image management is being replaced by digital systems.
  • Implementing Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) in office-based settings presents challenges.
  • Efficient review and distribution of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) images are crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an effective and accessible approach for managing, reviewing, and distributing DICOM images using multiple monitors.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a PACS in an office-based setting using standard personal computers (PCs).
  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of the proposed digital image management system.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Utilized Medweb software for collecting, compressing, and storing DICOM images (CT, MRI, angiographic).
  • Employed a dual-monitor Windows98 PC with a Medweb/Netscape viewer for image review.
  • Configured a Linux/UNIX server for image storage and retrieval.

Main Results:

  • No significant diagnostic discrepancies were found between electronic and conventional film images.
  • Mean reading time for 32 cases was 118 seconds, with initial image loading within 30 seconds.
  • The system facilitated viewing of uncompressed 16-bit images with adjustable window settings, cine viewing, and multiple monitor protocols.

Conclusions:

  • A cost-effective and accessible PACS can be established using readily available PCs, web-browser software, and DICOM standards.
  • The multi-monitor setup enhances image review capabilities for radiologists.
  • The system allows for electronic transmission of key images and remote access for referring physicians and on-call radiologists.
