Healthimaging.com published an interesting article this week. Jim Philbin, former senior director of medical imaging informatics at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, describes the deconstruction of PACS architectures.
Monolitic PACS will be separated in three modules:
- Storage of DICOM Images (VNA)
- Workflowmanagement
- Display of image information
This architecture is able to react more flexible on requirement changes in Medical Imaging, compared to client/server PACS of a single vendor.
Again, aycan shows it’s talent to forecast trends in medical imaging IT and bringing it to series maturity, while other PACS vendors still sell their systems from the last millennium.
Freely adapted from Wayne Gretzky (superstar in the modern history of the NHL):
„A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.“
