Abstract

PACS implementations require Information System data for efficient operation and coherent information management. The images contributing to a radiology report in a practical multivendor PACS implementation may be derived from more than one DICOM study, and it is the Radiology Information System (ItIS) that is responsible for the report. Flows ofexisting MS-based information were studied and the required set ofmessages between the PACS archive and the MS was defined. An archive providing the required functionality using standard and extended DICOM protocols was specified and acquired. The DICOM interface for the MS was developed in-house using the M (MUMPS) programming language native to the MS. We found that close integration ofa MS and PACS can be provided using DICOM protocols employing extensions compatible with the standard. The DICOM interfaces for textual data can be implemented in a MUMPS-based Radiology Information System without the need for an external interface "box".
