Question
Answer
first version of DICOM was created when?   1985  
🗑
three fundamental parts of PACS   image acquisition Display workstations Archive Sensors  
🗑
reading images on the computer without hardcopy films   softcopy reporting  
🗑
any computer used to view a digital image   workstation  
🗑
most interactive part of a PACS   workstation  
🗑
used inside and outside of the radiology department   workstation  
🗑
file room of the PACS   archive servers  
🗑
central part of PACS   archive server  
🗑
may also serve as the central node that receives all images before interpretation   archive server  
🗑
how a process is done step by step or how a task is completed   work flow  
🗑
hardware of the software infrastructure of the systems workflow   system architecture  
🗑
PACS system architecture normally consists of:   acquisition devices storage display workstations image management system  
🗑
images sent directly to the server after acquisition and centrally located   client/server based systems  
🗑
displays workstation function as a client of the archive server and accesses images based on a centralized worklist   client/server based systems  
🗑
advantages of a client/server based system   any exam sent to PACS, Only 1 can read, no need to pull or send historical images  
🗑
disadvantages of client/server based system   archive server single point of failure, archive down- entire system down, new images must remain at modality until archive is up and can receive, system network independent, network bogged down  
🗑
acquisition modalities send images to designated reading station and possibly to review stations. Images stored locally & sent to archive after being read.   distributed systems (standalone systems)  
🗑
advantages of distributed system   archive can go down with no impact on workstation, after archive comes up images auto update, PACS less likely to be lost, system less dependent on network for speed  
🗑
disadvantages of distributed systems   personnel rely on system to perform image distribution correctly, each workstation has different worklist, rad have to move to another workstation to read, possible for 2 rad to be reading same image, paper important  
🗑
similar to client/server system except images are held centrally and application software loads to the lient display.   web-based system  
🗑
advantages of web based system   hardware is anything that will support web browser, greater flexibility with hardware, can be on site or teleradiology  
🗑
disadvantages of web based system   system limited because no locally installed hardware, monitor may not be of diagnostic quality, bandwidth limiting, some programs to large to transmit across network  
🗑
consists of a monitor, computer, mouse, and keyboard   display workstation  
🗑
has the highest resolution monitors   radiologists  
🗑
has the second best resolution monitors   physicians  
🗑
has the third best monitors, used to review images after requisition but before completion   technologists  
🗑
has the poorest quality monitors, used to look up exam and print copies   file room/image management stations  
🗑
common navigation functions   navigation, handing protocols, study navigation  
🗑
common image manipulation and enhancement functions   window/level, annotations, flip and rotate, pan, zoom & magnify, measurements  
🗑
historical collection of images stored in PACS   archive  
🗑
contains master database of everything in archive. Controls receipt, retrieval, & distribution of images it stores. controls all DICOM processes, interfaces with HIS & RIS   Image manager / controller  
🗑
2 components of PACS archive   Image manager/controller Image storage/sever or archive server  
🗑
consists of physical storage device of the archive system; it commonly consists of 2 or 3 tiers of storage   Image storage/sever or archive server  
🗑
archive considerations   system need, cost, compatibility, alternatives  
🗑
device the scans hard copy x-ray images and converts them to digital images   film digitizer  
🗑
2 types of film digitizers   laser film digitizers & CCD  
🗑
uses helium neon laser beam to convert analog film image into digital image   laser film digitizers  
🗑
uses fluorescent bulbs that shine through the film and CD array that detects the light and transforms into electrical signal & ADC turns into digital image   CCD film digitizer  
🗑
uses for digitizers   teleradiology, comparing outside or old films, film duplication, computer aided diagnosis (CAD)  
🗑
ways to output copies of films   wet (chemical) laser images dry laser images (use heat) CD/DVD burner  
🗑
what does the archive server consist of in PACS?   database server, or image manager short term & long term storage workflow manager  
🗑
in which system architecture is it possible for two radiologists to be reading the images at the same time and be unaware of the other   Distributed System  
🗑
what system architecture stores the images AND application software centrally   web based system  
🗑
one of the greatest advantages of PACS   ability to view same set of images in multiple locations at one time  
🗑
