This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study
Institute on "Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in
Medicine" held in Evian, France, October 14- 26, 1990. The program
committee of the institute consisted of H.K. Huang (Director),
Osman Ratib, Albert Bakker, and Gerd Witte. This institute brought
together approximately 90 participants from 15 countries. These
proceedings are the accumulation of eight years of research and
development results in PACS by various dedicated groups throughout
the world. The purpose of this institute was to review the most
recent technology available for PACS and some clinical results. The
readers should notice the remarkable advances in this field by
comparing the contents in these proceedings with those in a
previous institute on "Pictorial Information Systems in Medicine"
held August 27 - September 7, 1984 in Braunlage/Harz, Federal
Republic of Germany, and published as Vol. 19 in this series. The
institute was organized according to four categories: PACS
components and system integration, PACS and related research in
various countries and manufacturing companies, clinical experience
and research support, and participants' scientific communications.
In PACS components, we included image acquisition, workstations,
data storage and networking. In system integration, topics on
interfaces between Hospital Information System (HIS), Radiology
Information System (RIS) and PACS, clinical reports, the ACR/NEMA
standard, databases, reliability, and system integration were
discussed. This lecture series emphasized the technical detail and
"how to" aspects.
The term picture archiving and communications system (PACS) was
initiated during the first International conference and workshop on
the topic sponsored by The International Society for Optical
Engineering (SPIE) in Newport Beach, California in 1982. The
research and development (R&D) progress for PACS has been slow
until 1988. The earlier PACS modules were mostly off the shelf
components connected together to solve a very specific clinical
problem. The three major players in PACS R&D are the European
countries, United States of America, and Japan. For various
reasons, the European coun tries concentrated in modeling and
simulation, U.S.A. pre ferred in-house development or purchased
PACS modules from a manufacturer, whereas Japan organized the PACS
as a national project. Between 1989 and 1990 PACS R&D took a
dramatic positive turn. Large scale P ACS projects were planned and
some are of implementation, especially in newly con at various
stages structed hospitals. Examples are the Hokkaido University,
Japan; Hammersmith Hospital, United Kingdom; Social and Medical
Center East (SMZO), Vienna, Austria; the U.S. Armed Force Medical
Diagnostic Imaging Support (MDIS) project; and the UCLA Medical
Plaza ambulatory care center. Another phenomenon is the
organization of the EC-countries which provides a tremendous
impetus for the European PACS R&D efforts. This book "Hospital
Integrated Picture Archiving and Communication Systems: edited by
Professor M. Osteaux and others is a direct product from these
efforts."
