Digital imaging and communication in medicine
AKA: DICOMEach modality and PACS communicate via DICOM

3 fundamental parts of PACS
1-Image acquisition
US, CT,MRI, Nuc Med and finally general radiography
Increased images per patient promoted the use of extra stations
Many work station gave way to full PACs systems

3 fundamental parts of PACS
2 Display workstation
Receives images from archive or from various radiology modalities
PACs application software for image manipulation (minor to more complex techniques)

3 fundamental parts of PACS
Archive Servers
Electronic file room
Short term or long term storage
Controls the PACs workflow
Archive receives images before they go to radiologist
Why is this something the radiographer should be aware of?

COMPARE THE FILM BASED WORK FLOW TO WHAT YOU DO NOW
![Page 8: PACS Chapter 8 P icture A rchiving and C ommunication S ystem.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d985503460f94a82737/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PACS ARCHITECTURE
Client/server-based system
All images from all modalities go to a central archive serverImages are then sent to the reading room
Advantages?
Disadvantages?
![Page 9: PACS Chapter 8 P icture A rchiving and C ommunication S ystem.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d985503460f94a82737/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PACS ARCHITECTURE
DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS OR STAND ALONE
Images sent to a designated reading station.
MRI to one station, CT to another
Advantages?
Disadvantages?
![Page 10: PACS Chapter 8 P icture A rchiving and C ommunication S ystem.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d985503460f94a82737/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PACS ARCHITECTURE
Web based system
Similar to client/serve application except the application software is web based
Advantages?
Disadvantages?

DISPLAY WORKSTATIONS
Number of monitors required by radiologists have reduced-why?
LCD to soon replace all CRT tubes-why?
CT viewed on a 1K
CR/DR viewed on 2K
Mammo – 5K
Let’s review resolution

Reading stations
Radiologist
Physician ReviewCan read report next to images
Tech QC stationWhat can be done here?
What should be confirmed here?
What is RIS?

FILE ROOM/IMAGE MANAGEMENT STATIONS
For image management purposes
Look up examinations for other physicians
Correct demographics before sent to archive

FUNCTIONS
Navigation functions
Hanging protocols
Study Navigation
Image manipulation and enhancement functions
What are these?

Patient demographics can be modified at the QC station, the reading station and the file room station
Why are there so many places that one can modify patient info?
Refer to figure 8-1
