Summary
This paper gives an overview of the SMZO-PACS-Project in the form of a rough specification of the system architecture and the functional parameters related with it.
The PACS-architecture, determined by the large amount of data volume, produced in the SMZO Hospital, is outlined.
In the radiology department high technical requirements concerning data throughput and fault tolerance are demanded. Therefore these PACS modules are designed in a way to minimize the workload of the network so that the performance is not degraded in the case of fault of a single component.
A PACS module includes image acquisition devices of a certain modality with related reporting workstations and an electronic archive (distributed archiving).
The functionality of the modules is described, special interest is posed on the integration of the different information managment systems PACS, RIS and HIS, to achieve a complete record of data input and throughput in the hospital.
