Abstract

Medical Imaging Informatics has begun over two or more decades. Currently, the share of X-ray, CT images used in medical diagnostics, or share medical images in collaborative research purposes and other public administrative report is one of the challenging issues for medicine and computer science. In the developing country, almost all the general hospital has been equipped with a number of modality for medical examination including an X-ray machine, CT scanner, MRI machine, Ultrasound machine. Initially, these devices were developed as a separated system and unconnected so that their digital images cannot be stored in a server, can not be shared and supported by specialized departments, and especially for Teleradiology activity. Our research proposes a topology for integrating Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and Teleradiology. Design the model and deploy the local DICOM PACS and some application of Teleradiology on the system in the General Hospital. In this paper, we also propose some novel workflow and substitute for the current process which has been used by physicians at the General Hospital so far.
