About the Book

This book presents the results of a multidisciplinary, co-operative project, jointly undertaken by research teams from universities, industry,and university hospitals form five European Community countries. The study shows how the digital management of diagnostic imaging pictures can be made effective in the clinical environment. The book deals in detail with the variegated issues of PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications Systems) integration. These include communication with other systems, medical requirements, networking, workstations, database, indexing methods and standards. A clear collective view is sythesized on the architecture of a second-generation PACS, taking into account the diverse features of the present state of the art and expected future enhancements of PACS technology.
