Abstract
The IMAGIS (Image Information System) approach demonstrates that a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) in a radiology department can take advantage of a relation with a HIS (Hospital Information System).
It is emphasized that use of HIS-data on patient and image data flow can assist in improving the management of images in a multilevel storage structure. Moreover the presentation of HIS-data may increase the value of PACS multimodality medical image workstations.
In this paper particular attention is focused on the set-up of a digital mass data storage structure. In our opinion the division of the storage component of an IMAGIS prototype into multiple layers is absolutely necessary, if considering the properties of equipment as available nowadays.
Before actually installing any hard- and software, a computer simulation model can be of great assistance in dimensioning the configuration. We have been constructing such a model until now with respect to the storage structure and strategy, of which the first simulation results are discussed in this paper.
We conclude that our model, as far as we can judge thusfar, can yield useful data leading to a well-founded choice of storage equipment, although still a lot of simulation runs, using HIS-data as input, have to be carried out.
