The definitive guide to PACS ― now with more clinically applicable material In recent years, the field of picture archiving and communications systems―PACS―and image informatics has advanced due to both conceptual and technological advancements. This edition of PACS and Imaging Informatics: Basic Principles and Applications addresses the latest in this exciting field. In contrast to the previous edition, this updated text uses the framework of image informatics, not physics or engineering principles, to explain PACS. It is the only resource that thoroughly covers the critical issues of hardware/software design and implementation in a systematic and easily comprehensible manner. To strengthen and update the book, the author: <ul>
<li> Emphasizes clinical applications of PACS and integrates clinical examples throughout the text </li> <li> Reflects the many changes in the field, with new chapters on Web-based PACS, security, integrating the healthcare enterprise, clinical management systems, and the electronic patient record </li> <li> Uses the framework of imaging informatics to explain PACS, making the book accessible to those without advanced knowledge of physics, engineering, math, or information technology </li> <li> Explains how PACS can improve workflow, therapy, and treatment </li> </ul>
With the most systematic and thorough coverage of practical applications available, this text is the complete guide for all those involved in designing, implementing, and using PACS. Professionals in medical and allied health imaging informatics; radiologists and their technical staff; surgeons and oncologists and their teams; medical and electronic engineers; medical informaticians; and fellows, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates will all benefit from this valuable resource. "An excellent book for people involved in the design, implementation, or simply the operations of PACS and an appropriate textbook." ―From a review of the previous edition in IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology "The strength of the book lies in the vast experience of the author, who has implemented PACS at numerous institutions in the United States and abroad." ―From a review of the previous edition in Radiology

PACS and Imaging Informatics: Basic Principles and Applications

Huang, H. K.

Computers & Technology

Wiley/Blackwell

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) consists of image acquisition devices, storage archiving units, display stations, computer processors, and data base management systems currently being installed worldwide for special clinical applications and large-scale hospital use.  Written by the recognized pioneer in PACS and medical imaging research, the title presents a comprehensive treatment of all radiologic acquisition devices including conventional x-ray, computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed radiology (CR), and laser digitization.  "PACS" is organized such that a reader unfamiliar with these systems can skip the more advanced material and still grasp the overall concepts involving PACS technology; while the reader who has had more experience in these areas may delve into the clinical details underlying the applications. Although PACS was introduced by the radiology community, it can be applied to any scientific field that requires the management of information in the form of pictures.

This new Second Edition addresses the latest in picture archiving and communications systems (PACS), from the electronic patient record to the full range of topics in digital imaging. In contrast to the previous edition, this updated text uses the framework of image informatics, not physics or engineering principles, to explain PACS. This book is the only resource that thoroughly covers the critical issues of hardware/software design and implementation in a systematic and easily comprehensible manner. The new edition features additional chapters on web-based PACS, security, integrating the healthcare enterprise, clinical management systems, and the electronic patient record. It addresses how PACS can improve workflow, therapy, and treatment, and discusses integration of PACS in hospitals. Offering a clear guide for those purchasing and installing PACS, it is written in clear, non-technical language by a widely acknowledged pioneer in the field and does not assume advanced knowledge of physics, engineering, or math principles. The text also contains substantive new treatment of key topics in image informatics, including light imaging, digital radiography, teleconsultation, and image archive servers.

PACS BASIC PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS H. K. Huang, D.Sc. Picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) are the foundation of digital radiology and are increasingly being implemented to streamline health-care operations, facilitate teleradiology, and improve patient care. PACS: Basic Principles and Applications integrates a comprehensive introduction to the imaging modalities and technical fundamentals of "filmless radiology" with clear guidelines for designing and implementing a PACS system. Written by a leading expert and featuring numerous illustrations, line drawings, and schematic diagrams, this practical, user-friendly resource includes individual chapters on such topics as: * Digital radiologic image fundamentals * Industry standards, with an emphasis on HL7 and DICOM * Image compression * Image acquisition gateways * Communications and networking * System design, installation, and evaluation * Clinical applications and pitfalls * Future development of PACS PACS: Basic Principles and Applications is an essential reference and invaluable sourcebook for radiologists and radiology residents and technologists, as well as for imaging facility planners and support staff.

PACS: Basic Principles and Applications

Thoroughly revised to present the very latest in PACS-based multimedia in medical imaging informatics―from the electronic patient record to the full range of topics in digital medical imaging―this new edition by the founder of PACS and multimedia image informatics features even more clinically applicable material than ever before. It uses the framework of PACS-based image informatics, not physics or engineering principles, to explain PACS-based multimedia informatics and its application in clinical settings and labs. New topics include Data Grid and Cloud Computing, IHE XDS-I Workflow Profile (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Cross-enterprise Document Sharing for Imaging), extending XDS to share images, and diagnostic reports and related information across a group of enterprise health care sites. PACS-Based Multimedia Imaging Informatics is presented in 4 sections. Part 1 covers the beginning and history of Medical Imaging, PACS, and Imaging Informatics. The other three sections cover Medical Imaging, Industrial Guidelines, Standards, and Compliance; Informatics, Data Grid, Workstation, Radiation Therapy, Simulators, Molecular Imaging, Archive Server, and Cloud Computing; and multimedia Imaging Informatics, Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD), Image-Guide Decision Support, Proton Therapy, Minimally Invasive Multimedia Image-Assisted Surgery, BIG DATA. <ul>
<li>New chapter on Molecular Imaging Informatics</li> <li>Expanded coverage of PACS and eHR's (Electronic Health Record), with HIPPA compliance</li> <li>New coverage of PACS-based CAD (Computer-Aided Diagnosis)</li> <li>Reorganized and expanded clinical chapters discuss one distinct clinical application each</li> <li>Minimally invasive image assisted surgery in translational medicine</li> <li>Authored by the world's first and still leading authority on PACS and medical imaging</li> </ul>
