“…Similarly, the Network server employs both host level security and usernamepassword authentication. However, this level of security is inadequate when a PACS network is connected to the Internet [7]. Therefore, the AIMS Network is not connected to the Internet at the moment, providing more tight control and access.…”

“…A fully functioning system is then configured with the addition of components for data exchange among applications based on standard data transmission protocols. A common example is data exchange between Hospital Information System (HIS), Radiology Information System (RIS), and PACS [1,2]. Underlying this approach to the IT architecture is the notion that superior services for users can be provided by selecting best-of-breed applications.…”

Radiology IT: Applications Integration vs. Consolidation

The question of whether Radiology IT systems should be composed of multiple applications integrated using standard data exchange protocols, such as DICOM and HL7, or implemented using consolidation of applications and systems has been debated for the past 30 years. The adequacy of the former approach has become a burning issue because the demands on Radiology IT systems have increased greatly. We report here on the experience of the Radiology Information Technology (IT) implementation at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) over the past 11 years; during this time, the weekly image accumulation rate increased from 100,000 to 2,000,000 images. During the implementation period, major difficulties were encountered, largely as a result of the inadequacies of the Radiology IT architecture widely used in the healthcare industry. The approach we chose to correct some of these difficulties has been consolidation of some of the multiple systems and applications. Three examples of systems consolidation are discussed: (1) converting a dual-tier image storage system to a single tier, (2) consolidation of Mammography reading into PACS, and (3) enabling 3D visualization and analysis on the PACS workstation. Nevertheless, substantial research and development are needed in order to proceed with more extensive systems consolidation and, thus, a more manageable IT installation.

“…With the introduction of large-scale PACS and the capability for web-based image distribution [1][2][3], this impression began to change. The need for integration with the Hospital Information System (HIS) [4][5][6][7] and the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) [8][9][10] became evident, although the latter is still not seen too often [11], making PACS a well perceived part of the hospital's IT-landscape.…”

The aim of this review is to present the status of digital image acquisition and archiving outside of radiology and to describe the technical concepts and possibilities of how a "radiology" Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) can become a multi-departmental (MD-)PACS. First the principles of system integration technology are explained and illustrated by the description of a typical radiology system integration. Then four types of modality integration approaches are defined: the direct modality integration (Type-I), the integration via DICOM acquisition software (Type-II) the integration via specialised systems either with (Type-III) or without PACS connection (Type-IV). The last section is dedicated to the presentation of the PACS requirements of selected interdisciplinary modality types [Endoscopy, Ultrasound and Electrocardiography (ECG)] and clinical disciplines (Pathology, Dermatology, Ophthalmology and Cardiology), which are then compared with the technical possibilities of a MD-PACS.
