This thesis describes the effective interfacing methods of PACS Modality based on the system installation and operating experiences. PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) is a system for medical image archiving and communication using large storage device and high-speed network. The standard communication protocol of PACS is DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) based on TCP/IP and point-to-point protocol. However, there are many Non-DICOM Modalities and DICOM Modalities having problems. First, we had interfaced almost modalities, Fuji CR, GE CT, MRI, Angio, Fluoro, Phillips Angio, Shimadzu Fluoro, Ultrasound PACS, with the main PACS in the Seoul S Hospital as large scale hospital. And we manipulated the intelligent image distribution and the CT, MRI Interfaces never experienced before in the Anyang J Hospital and the Chungju C Hospital as mid or small scale hospital. Technically, we developed both the DICOM Interface and the Non-DICOM Interface. At the last, the DICOM Worklist and the DICOM Print Interface were implemented in the Seoul B Hospital, the Bucheon SJ Hospital and the Seoul K Hospital independently with PACS. The Oracle, Sybase and MS-SQL are used as database, and UNIX, Macintosh, MS Windows as operating systems. And the Visual C++ and UNIX C are the main programming tools. We have used UTP, coaxial and fiber optic Gable under 10/100 mbps LAN for networking.

Picture archiving and communications systems(PACS) for digital image distribution, archiving and transmission, represent the modern hospital. PACS is the medical image management system within a hospital, whereas teleradiology system is the medical image communication system between remote sites. PACS and teleradiology systems usually consists of mainly four parts such as image acquisition part, image storage and database part, Image communication network part, and image display workstation part. Among these components comprised In the PACS, workstations are the point of contact between a PACS and the radiologist or referring physician. Therefore, the acceptance of PACS is highly dependent on workstation functionality, performance and easy of use compared with the conventional film-based radiology. This paper describes overall configurations and some requirements of PACS and teleradiology.

의료 치료를 지원하는 병원 전산망에서 PACS 데이터의 효과적인 전송이 요구된다. 그러나 한정된 전산망과 PACS 데이터의 크기 증가에 따라 진료 시간에 네트워크 과부하가 자주 발생되며, 이는 진료를 방해하는 주요 요소가 된다. 네트워크 트래픽 문제는 적응적인 QoS에 의하여 해결될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 병원 전산망 상에서 멀티미디어 PACS 데이터를 효과적으로 전송하기 위한 QoS 아키텍쳐 기반의 미들웨어를 설계한다. 가상 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 QoS 기반 미들웨어가 기존의 병원 네트워크에 비하여 음성, 영상 우선순위 데이터의 QoS를 보장할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Now a days in our society, occupation boundaries have become blurred, and come into the limelight in the prior occupation or miss about new workplace. Medical area is no exception also, So we face urgent problem about protecting and spreading RT work-sphere simultaneously. This research allow to identify on RT role area of digital environment that is obscure profession-realm specially, and open up a new field hereafter. We examined present RT role area of digital environment in the more than thirty medical facility(general or university hospital) through questionnaire/visit survey from PACS administrator. Survey sentence comprises total 29 sentence over all main quadrisection-(eX. hospital formation & treatment state and PACS team composition & organization and PACS team workplace and PACS team daily workload), We performed comparative analysis in general contents perspectively. further more, divided main 5 section based on upper analysis and then manufactured output in consideration of each medical facility's operation state. There are comparative problem of hospital policy, So we maintained information security of each facility exhaustively. First, we separated a survey output into main 5 section as follows-(eX. PACS server & maintenance manage, Client/interlock manage, PACS data conversion, 3D reconstruction, PACS data im/export)-that received by 35 medical facility. And then manufactured output with comparative analysis about RT role area each section, general IT managing team about medical environment was out of existence that fill up with RT manpower in the surveyed medical facility consequently. What is worse, hospitals that entirely fill up with another worker were 3 place amazingly. Our specific statistic results show, the respondents was 63% that agree with reorganization of formation base on independence team, and supplement of the personnel average -continuous with upper agreement simply-was about 2.64. Further more, if reorganization break out with only RT manpower, quota TO will increase by geometric progression. Protecting and spreading role workplace is much accounted of the our inevitable project surely and more than 95% PACS administrator's have confidence in this proposition unconditionally. Henceforth, look forward to meeting the RT vision of many-sided multiplayer, based on acquire a specialized IT knowledge actively and open up a new work-field with frontier spirit.

One of current trends of medical technology is analog to digital. Moreover, The Government put a premium on PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System) for Medical Insurance in November, 1999. Therefore many hospitals are installing(or planning to install) PACS facilities on their buildings. However most of hospitals didn't consider PACS facilities in the beginning of construction. In particular, the Networking is one of the most difficult things for PACS installation. There is no space for network equipments, and no path for network lines, etc. To solve these problems, wireless network is proposed. The wireless network is divided to three parts mainly. One is the wireless communication for Local Area Network, another is the data transmission through a satellite for Tele-Radiology, and the last one is the technology using Bluetooth for each sub-system of PACS. But there are other problems in wireless systems, i.e., network bandwidth, system stability, interference with other devices. The purpose of this paper is to suggest the future and new trend of PACS including all the problems.

본 논문에서는 적은 비용으로 핵의학 영상을 상용 PACS에 전송하는 프로토콜을 개발하였다. 핵의학 DICOM gateway를 사용하여 자체 지역 네트워크로 연결되어 있는 PACS 네트워크와 핵의학과 네트워크를 연결하였다. 본원 핵의학 기기에서 사용하고 있는 Interfile 3.3을 PACS에서 사용하는 DICOM 3.0으로 변환하는 DICOM 변환 프로그램을 개발하였다. DICOM 변환 프로그램은 핵의학 영상을 DICOM으로 변환한 후 PACS DICOM gateway에 전송한다. PACS DICOM gateway는 핵의학과에서 전송된 영상 정보와 병원정보시스템 데이터베이스의 환자 정보와 일치 여부를 확인 후 PACS 데이터베이스에 저장한다. 전송방법으로 Interfile, 화면 캡쳐, 스캔 파일 형식, 등을 개발하였다. 핵의학 영상 전송은 성공적으로 이루어졌으며 Interfile로 전송하였을 경우 PACS에서 영상처리가 가능하였고 그래프와 주석 등의 정량적 정보는 화면 캡쳐 방법으로 쉽게 전송할 수 있었다. 필름은 스캐너로 스캔하여 화면 캡쳐와 동일한 방법으로 전송하였다. 핵의학 영상 전송 프로토콜 개발로 적은 비용으로 쉽게 핵의학 영상을 PACS에 전송할 수 있었다.

최근 PACS에서 장기간 저장장치로 디스크 배열이 많이 사용되고 있으나, 디스크에 대한 년 간 불량률에 관해서 신뢰성이 부족한 실정이다. 2016년 10월부터 2017년 2월까지 PACS 판독기에서 의료영상을 읽거나 저장하면서 하드디스크의 직렬포트단자를 조사하였으며, PACS 영상저장 장치에 사용되었던 하드디스크 98대와 개인용 컴퓨터에 사용되었던 하드디스크 101대에 저장된 데이터에서 전송률을 산출하였다. PACS 판독기에서 CT영상을 읽었을 경우에는 수십 MB이하 단위로 읽기는 87.8%, 쓰기는 12.2%가 수행되었다. PACS 판독기에서 CT 영상을 저장할 때는 수십 MB이하 단위로 읽기는 11.4%, 쓰기는 88.6%가 수행되었다. 개인용 컴퓨터에서 엑셀 파일을 읽을 경우에는 3 MB 이하단위로 읽기는 75%, 쓰기는 25%가 수행되었다. 개인용 컴퓨터에서 엑셀 파일 저장을 진행하면서 하드디스크와의 통신은 3 MB이하단위로 읽기는 38%, 쓰기는 62%가 수행되었다. PACS내 영상저장장치에 사용되는 하드디스크의 전송률은 10 GB/h, 개인용 컴퓨터의 하드디스크의 전송률은 5 GB/h로 나타났다. PACS내 영상저장에 사용되던 하드디스크의 년간 불량률은 0.97 ~ 1.13%를 보였고, 개인용 컴퓨터 내 하드디스크의 년간 불량률은 0.51~0.7%를 보였다. 전송량이 높을수록 년 간 불량률도 높아졌다. 이러한 결과는 하드디스크의 수명예측이나 연간 고장률을 예측하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 것이다.

As developing the medical treatment image portion with the change of these times, PACS, which is able to digitalize image portion data, has a lot of data-based image data. Applying this PACS, we would like to settle down RNSXI(real-name shooting X -ray of inspector) system. We interviewed with P ACS's operators of university hospitals which is using PACS in Seoul about the present conditions whether using of RNSXI or not. And we inquired the RNSXI equipments, applying PACS database, and Interface conditions undertook to do in our hospital. All university hospitals in Seoul are set up the P ACS system. But no hospital use the RNSXI. In our hospital, we can check inspector' name or initials who exposure x-ray with the PACS Viewer by looking over equipments(CR, DR, US, MG, MR, CT) and Interface of the DICOM Header data. However, some equipments like RF and Angio can not check inspector' name or initials. Under the Film/System environment, RNSXI system has been used frequently like that inspector's signature or initial added to a patient data. Though the digital medical treatment was developed, RNSXI system was declined. It is necessary to using RNSXI system in order to improving radiologists' rights, even if it is not under the application of the medical treatment image laws. If RNSXI system use, radiologists should specialize in their major and the Repeat rate should be reduced. In environment of PACS, RNSXI system can be used by linking both the equipments and the Interface with a production enterprise of P ACS. Therefore RNSXI system applying the P ACS datebase should settle down in our medical system for being provided lots of data.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the transition of a 1,100 beds teritary hospital from 50% softcopy operation to full PACS operation. For the past 2 years, radiologists and clinicians have been using PACS to provide softcopy services to the outpatient clinics and inpatient wards of orthopedics surgery, neurosurgery and neurology as well as emergency room, surgical intensive care unit, medical intensive unit, pediatrics intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care unit. The examinations requested by these departments account for about 50% of hospital's radiological exams. In September 1996, we began the second phase of PACS implementation and installed additional workstations (102) in the remaining wards and clinics, interfaced to PACS additional imaging modalites, and increased the capacity of both the image server (256 Gbytes) and optical juke boxes (3 Tbytes). As of January 1997, we are in the final phase of moving away from conventional film system to full PACS operation.
