Area of Science:

Medical Imaging Informatics
Radiology Software Development

Background:

Commercial Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) offer standard radiology workflow support.
Radiologists often require extended functionality beyond typical PACS capabilities.
Tasks like integrating nonradiologic images and deidentifying data for research are common needs.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce the SimpleDICOM software suite as a solution for enhancing PACS.
To provide radiologists with tools for managing diverse imaging data and research needs.
To offer a free, downloadable, and vendor-independent software solution.

Main Methods:

Development of a suite of free, downloadable software programs.
Designing the software as add-ons for existing PACS.
