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.
