Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Informatics
  • Health Information Management

Background:

  • Long-term storage necessitates migrating image data from Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) to successor systems.
  • Current migration methods may be time-consuming and costly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of storing image data as DICOM Part 10 documents for future PACS migration.
  • To compare document-based storage with on-line DICOM transfer methods.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data migration costs associated with different storage strategies.
  • Assessment of DICOM Part 10 format as a representation for image documents.
  • Discussion of the relationship between document-oriented storage and electronic patient records.

Main Results:

  • Storing image data as DICOM Part 10 documents on industry-standard media can reduce migration time and cost.
  • DICOM Part 10 files adequately represent image documents, though software enhancements are beneficial.
  • A significant cost benefit is associated with the document storage method.

Conclusions:

  • Document-based storage in DICOM Part 10 format presents a cost-effective strategy for PACS data migration.
  • This method offers advantages for long-term data archiving and system transitions.
  • The cost benefits must be weighed against other factors when selecting a PACS.
