This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study
Institute on "Pictorial Information Systems in Medicine" held
August 27-September 7, 1984 in Hotel Maritim, Braunlage/Harz,
Federal Republic of Germany. The program committee of the institute
consisted of KH Hohne (Director), G. T Herman, G. S. Lodwick, and
D. Meyer-Ebrecht. The organization was in the hands of Klaus
Assmann and Fritz Bocker In the last decade medical imaging has
undergone a rapid development New imaging modalities such as
Computer Tomography (CT), Digital Angiography (DSA) and Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) were developed using the capabilities of
modern computers. In a modern hospital these technologies produce
already more then 25% of image data in digital form. This format
lends itself to the design of computer assisted Information systems
Integrating data acquisition, presentation, communi cation and
archiving for all modalities and users within a department or even
a hospital. Advantages such as rapid access to any archived Image,
synoptic presentation, computer assisted image analysis to name
only a few, are expected. The design of such pictorial information
systems, however, often called PACS (Picture Archiving and
Communication Systems) In the medical community is a non-trivial
task involving know-how from many disciplines such as - Medicine
(especially Radiology), - Data Base Technology, - Computer
Graphics, - Man Machine Interaction, - Hardware Technology and
others. Most of these disCiplines are represented by disjunct
scientific communities."
