PACS Workstation: User Interface Design

Abstract

This paper covers some of the recent concepts in user interface design for digital imaging workstation. In a multimodality PACS network, digital workstations should allow to access, display and analyze digital images from different imaging modalities. In the design of such workstations a special emphasis must be placed on the design of the user interface to allow clinicians with minimal or no computer manipulation skills to use complex analysis tools. General guidelines of a graphic oriented user interface, based on windows and icons, are proposed. A prototype software was designed and developed at the University Hospital of Geneva (OSIRIS software) based on these guidelines. This software was designed to be easily implemented on a variety of hardware platforms providing the users with an identical and consistent user interface.
