Abstract

Current challenges facing picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) center around database design and functionality. Workflow issues and folder manager concepts such as autorouting, prefetching, hanging protocols, and hierarchical storage management are driven by a properly designed database that ultimately directly impacts the clinical utility of a PACS. The key issues in PACS database design that enable radiologist-friendly, cost-effective, and data-secure systems will be discussed, including database difficulties of the DICOM standard, HIS/RIS/PACS (hospital information system/radiology information system) connectivity, and database issues in data acquisition, data dissemination, and data display.
