| Abstract |
Physicians, radiologists, and people who are working with medical images have been looking at radiographic films, which are displayed on big and roomy lightboxes. But these radiographic films are expensive, they use chemical polluting agents such as silver nitrates and are difficult to store and manage. Meanwhile, medical imaging use more and more digital imaging technologies for creating images such as CT, US, MRI, Angiography, Digital Radiography and Fluoroscopy. All these modalities, originally viewed on computers screens are translated into conventional films in order to let other physicians view them on lightboxes.
The introduction of digital imaging devices in the medical world has made the management of images easier and more efficient. The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard promotes the communication of digital image information regardless of device manufacturer. Digital Images in a hospital are managed with Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which receives, stores and makes these images available to Radiologists and Physicians for diagnosis and review. This talk is divided into following sub topics
1. Introduction to PACS
2. Components of PACS
3. PACS Architecture
4. Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine - Need & Architecture
5. Radiology Information System
6. Advantages and Benefits of PACS
7. Tele Radiology
