Abstract

A large distributed image archive has been designed and is currently in the final stages of development as part of the Picture Archiving and Communications Systems at the University of Florida. The problem was to create a large yet efficient image archive to store the images from all the currently supported imaging modalities with expansion capabilities for the future. The design consists of modality acquisition processors (for the receipt, conversion and routing of image data from the diagnostic imaging equipment), medium term organ based magnetic archives (capable of storing patient studies for 4 - 6 months), a 3 Terabyte mixed media long term archive (currently using Digital Linear Tape), and a centralized image management data base. While the archive was primarily designed to support DICOM, certain legacy image formats such as ACR-NEMA 2.0 and native mode nuclear medicine formats are also supported until DICOM compliant acquisition is available from all imaging modalities.
