Picture archiving and communication systems: past, present, and future

“…The “First International Conference and Workshop on PACS” was held in January of 1981 at Newport Beach, CA. At this inaugural meeting researchers from academia and industry described PACS concepts and prototype architectures including accounts by Dwyer and Templeton (University of Kansas), 4 , 5 Duerinckx (Philips Ultrasound, Inc.), 6 Vizy (Eastman Kodak), 7 Staab (University of North Carolina), 8 Bohm (Institut fur Mathematik and Datenverarbeitung in der Medizin Germany), 9 and Blaine and Jost (Washing University St. Louis) 10 . Horii (New York University) discussed the cost of PACS, 11 and papers by Arenson (University of Pennsylvania) described a radiology information system (RIS) for enhanced PACS functionality 12 and a fiber optic network for data communication 13 .…”

SPIE Medical Imaging 50th anniversary: history of the Picture Archiving and Communication Systems Conference

“…Eighty-three papers were presented and subsequently published in a proceedings in January 1982. Multiple papers included PACS concept descriptions and prototype architectures including accounts by Dwyer and Templeton (University of Kansas), 1 , 2 Duerinckx (Philips Ultrasound, Inc.), 3 Vizy (Eastman Kodak), 4 Staab (University of North Carolina), 5 Bohm (Institut fur Mathematik and Datenverarbeitung in der Medizin, Germany), 6 and Blaine and Jost (Washing University St Louis). 7 Horii (New York University) discussed the cost of PACS, 8 and Arenson (University of Pennsylvania) detailed radiology information system management 9 and fiber optic networks for data communication.…”

<title>Broadband Coaxial Cable Image Viewing And Processing For Radiology</title>

“…Though there has been, and will be, considerable debate about the choice of transport medium, and the the type of archival storage device to be used, the fact that medical imaging science is moving toward some sort of networked scheme is clear. At the 1982 Picture Archiving and Communication Systems meeting, a number of proposals and demonstration systems were described [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. We presented our ideas for such a system at that time [8].…”
