The development of mobile radiography is linked to
Magneto-Optical Disk
More reliable than some of the other long-term storage options.
Digital Versatile Disk
Least expensive method for long-term archiving per gigabyte.
Archive
A place where records or documents are preserved
Image manager/ controller
This database contains only the image header information, not the image data
.dcm
File extension of a DICOM image
24 MB
Storage size needed for a mammography image.
HL7
Formed in 1987 and was accepted as the global standard for exchange, integration, sharing and retrieval of electronic health information.
Gray scale
In digital imaging and radiology, this is known as the basic features that varies in range of tones; black, white, shades of gray or color.
Spatial Resolution
The ability to distinguish fine detail and differentiate object in an image.
Network
This exists when two or more computers are connected together.
Radiologists
In operative level of network and radiology, this enables viewing and transfer imaging data between consoles of modalities.
Health care providers
Empowers a healthcare enterprise.
LAN
A type of network that covers a small geographic area like a radiology department.
PACS
A system for digital storage, transmission, and retrieval of radiology images.
ACR - American College of Radiology NEMA - National Electrical Manufacturers Association
DICOM is developed by
Teleradiology
This refers to the practice of radiologist interpreting medical images while not physically present in the location where the images are generated.
IHE
This provides implementation profiles based on existing standards like HL7 and DICOM.
Electronic Archive
This serves as the new file room & warehouse for all DICOM imaging modalities.
David Patterson Garth Gibson Randy Katz
They coined the term RAID in their article.
Personal Area Network Global Area Network Wide Area Network Local Area Network Metropolitan Area Network
PAN, GAN, WAN, LAN, MAN
Financial cost High resolution monitors are needed
Disadvantage of a PACS System
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks
RAID stands for
Searching the database and image processing; Simultaneous display of multiple images on the monitor when the quality of individual images is decreased or certain segments are cut off; Appearance of false coloring which appears in the adjacent gray level, false coloring in contrasting colors, etc.
