The definitive guide to PACS — now with more clinically applicable material
In recent years, the field of picture archiving and communications systems—PACS—and image informatics has advanced due to both conceptual and technological advancements. This edition of PACS and Imaging Informatics: Basic Principles and Applications addresses the latest in this exciting field. In contrast to the previous edition, this updated text uses the framework of image informatics, not physics or engineering principles, to explain PACS. It is the only resource that thoroughly covers the critical issues of hardware/software design and implementation in a systematic and easily comprehensible manner.
To strengthen and update the book, the author:
Emphasizes clinical applications of PACS and integrates clinical examples throughout the text
Reflects the many changes in the field, with new chapters on Web-based PACS, security, integrating the healthcare enterprise, clinical management systems, and the electronic patient record
Uses the framework of imaging informatics to explain PACS, making the book accessible to those without advanced knowledge of physics, engineering, math, or information technology
Explains how PACS can improve workflow, therapy, and treatment
With the most systematic and thorough coverage of practical applications available, this text is the complete guide for all those involved in designing, implementing, and using PACS. Professionals in medical and allied health imaging informatics; radiologists and their technical staff; surgeons and oncologists and their teams; medical and electronic engineers; medical informaticians; and fellows, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates will all benefit from this valuable resource.
"An excellent book for people involved in the design, implementation, or simply the operations of PACS and an appropriate textbook."
—From a review of the previous edition in IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology
"The strength of the book lies in the vast experience of the author, who has implemented PACS at numerous institutions in the United States and abroad."
—From a review of the previous edition in Radiology

PACS and Imaging Informatics
Chapter One
Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION
PACS (picture archiving and communication system) based on digital, communication, display, and information technologies has revolutionized the practice of radiology, and in a sense, of medicine during the past fifteen years. This textbook introduces the PACS basic concept, terminology, technological development, and implementation, as well as PACS-based applications to clinical practice and PACS-based imaging informatics. There are many advantages of introducing digital, communications, display, and information technologies (IT) to the conventional paper and film-based operation in radiology and medicine. For example, through digital imaging plate and detector technology, and various energy source digital imaging modalities, it is possible to improve the modality diagnostic value while at the same time reducing the radiation exposure to the patient; then through the computer and display, the digital image can be manipulated for value-added diagnosis. Also digital, communication, IT technologies can been used to understand the healthcare delivery workflow, resulting in a speed-up of healthcare delivery and reduction of medical operation costs.
With all these benefits, digital communication and IT are gradually changing the way medical images and related information in the healthcare industry are acquired, stored, viewed, and communicated. One natural development along this line is the emergence of digital radiology departments and digital healthcare delivery environment. A digital radiology department has two components: a radiology information management system (RIS) and a digital imaging
