초록

대형병원에서 환자의 치료와 진단을 목적으로 하루에 생산되는 의료영상의 발생량은 보다 정확하고 정밀한 진단이 요구되는 촬영장비와 네트워크 인프라의 발달로 나날이 증가하고 있으며, 앞으로 그런 추세는 계속 될 것이다. 따라서 기존방식의 PACS보다 성능이 개선된 시스템이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 영상압축속도를 개선하기 위해, 계산그리드 기술을 이용하여, PACS의 부분시스템으로써, 의료영상압축 저장시스템을 설계 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템의 시작품을 사용한 실험을 통해, 처리기들이 추가됨에 따라 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

The use of medical imaging in hospitals is being gradually increased as it is of utmost importance in treatment and diagnosis of patients. With the drastic increase of the usage of medical imaging in hospitals per day necessitates more speedy and accurate systems for precise diagnosis and the treatment. Hence the modality and development of network infrastructure are also need to be improved day by day and this trend may be continued. Thus there is a great need improvement of PACS concerned. In this paper, by using the computational grid technology, we design a medical image storage system that improve the compression speed, and implement a prototype as a part of PACS. We also demonstrate the performance improvement from experimental results of the prototype.
