[The design and implement of PACS components in digital imaging apparatus]

The domestic application of PACS will surely be developed in the future, but it will still take a few years. This paper proposes a tradeoff scheme: Attaching to digital imaging apparatus the PACS components, which mainly contain the Auto-archiving unit, the Communication unit supporting WAN as well as LAN and the Converting Interface unit to the hospital PACS. In this way, a single digital imaging apparatus can archive and transmit data independently, also can merge with the hospital PACS conveniently in the future. In this paper, both the design and the implement are discussed in detail.
