CommView(R) System Data Management for Picture Archiving and Communication
14 November 1988
A Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) offers data management and networking capability in a radiology environment. Exams taken with X-ray and other imaging equipments are transmitted over a network and stored in the database. Radiologists can view the acquired exams on local or remote display work stations.
The database is used to stored images, patient demographic information, diagnostic reports, and other exam-related text. The talk will describe the requirements, approach, and overall architecture for data management within the CommView (R) PACS developed at the AT&T Bell Laboratories.
