A new MicroPACS network was developed for small-scale Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), enabling integrated image management and remote communication. This solution addresses technical challenges for efficient data handling and inter-site connectivity.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Health Informatics
  • Computer Networking

Background:

  • Implementing Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in small healthcare facilities presents unique challenges.
  • Existing systems may not be cost-effective or scalable for smaller institutions.
  • The need for integrated image management and communication is critical even in limited settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a practical and cost-effective PACS solution for small-scale structures.
  • To create a network that integrates image production management, analysis, storage, and communication.
  • To enable seamless communication between similar remote facilities.

Main Methods:

  • Development of MicroPACS, a local area network based on PC-like microcomputers.
