Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Technology
  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Networking

Background:

  • The transition to filmless radiology necessitates high-capacity digital image communication networks.
  • Existing Local Area Networks (LANs) present limitations for the large data volumes of medical images.
  • Integration of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) with Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS) is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze image communication requirements for future Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS).
  • To evaluate existing Local Area Network (LAN) technologies and their suitability for PACS.
  • To explore network solutions and integration strategies for PACS, including extramural operation and standardization.

Main Methods:
