“…Hybrid image databases are commonly used in countries including France, the USA and Japan [8][9][10] , which are the forefront of medical technology. In Brazil, although the storage of medical images for research purposes is not universal, such systems do exist, mainly in Southern and Southeastern regions, including Curitiba, Porto Alegre, Ribeirão Preto and São Paulo 5,6,11,12 .…”

“…Various institutions in Brazil use clinical image databases in PACS (Picture Archive and Communication System) format 5,6,11,12 . Hybrid image databases used for both clinical care and medical research exist in Europe, the USA and Japan [8][9][10] . The storage and use of data in hybrid image databases must comply with medical ethics regulations.…”

The Clinical Images Database (BIC) is an archive of clinical images for medical care and research. Objective: To describe the characteristics of and requirements for the creation of a BIC in a tertiary center in Northeastern Brazil. Methods: Technological advances allow for long-term storage of clinical images and retrieval according to clinical needs. With the patient consent and image anonymousness, the database can be used for research. It allows measurements/comparisons, reconstruction/ deconstruction and analysis of anatomical, clinical and pathological variables. The specific infrastructure and image capture and storage requirements for a BIC used for clinical and research purposes are analyzed. Results: Image capture and storage: Comprises centralization of X-ray, CT, MRI and angiography data through the network to a server. An anonymous version of each set of studies must be available for use in research. External backup is needed. Visualization: Comprises the user interface and includes stations for viewing and data processing. Maintenance: A technical team assists users and manages the system, troubleshooting problems, registering users and performing regular audits. An external committee supervised the creation of the BIC, and continues to review its progress. Conclusions: The present study could serve as a basis for the creation of similar clinical databases for research use

“…Most investigations have considered a single, or at best, a small number of factors that contribute to a fragmented view of PACS success. PACS implementation from an institutional perspective is also generally reported [13] rather than at the vendor level. To summarize, past empirical and evaluative studies have provided limited discussion on the conceptual frameworks for holistic or comprehensive understanding of PACS success or systematic and practical descriptions of challenges endured in a developing country.…”

ObjectivesConventional radiological processes have been replaced by digital images and information technology systems within South Africa and other developing countries. Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) technology offers many benefits to institutions, medical personnel and patients; however, the implementation of such systems can be a challenging task. It has been documented that South Africa has been using PACS for more than a decade in public hospitals with moderate success. The aim of this study was to identify and describe the PACS challenges endured by PACS vendors during implementation in the South African public healthcare sector.MethodsThis was achieved by engaging in a methodological approach that was qualitative in nature collecting data through semi structured interviews from 10 PACS experts/participants which were later analysed qualitatively.ResultsThe findings show that PACS vendors have countless challenges, some of which include space, insufficient infrastructure, image storage capacity, system maturity and vendor related concerns. It was clear that the PACS experts readily offered contextually appropriate descriptions of their encounters during PACS implementations in South African public healthcare institutions.ConclusionsPACS vendors anticipate these challenges when facing a public healthcare institution and it is recommended that the hospital management and potential PACS stakeholders be made aware of these challenges to mitigate their effects and aid in a successful implementation.

“…In serious cases or for difficult patients, radiography can be performed at the bedside with a portable X-ray machine (Eklund et al, 2012). Radiological technology has been investigated with regard to the reduction of radiation exposure (Ben-Shlomo et al, 2016; Den Harder et al, 2016; Goodman and Amurao, 2012; Iezzi et al, 2012; McCollough, 2012; Sarti et al, 2012; Thabet et al, 2012), the positioning and clarity with which the area under observation is visualised (Hospers et al, 2009; Huang and Schweitzer, 2014; Kijowski et al, 2006; Siddiqui et al, 2014), and the improvement of image quality through advances in devices and systems (Hamer et al, 2005; Inamura and Kim, 2011; Körner et al, 2007; Uffmann et al, 2005; Utsunomiya et al, 2013). Recently, more hospitals have been switching from the use of X-ray film to filmless diagnosis via images displayed on monitors, meaning that images can be rapidly transferred after scanning, and clear images can be accessed on hospital information system (HIS) terminals at any time (Jeong et al, 2014; Utsunomiya et al, 2013).…”
