Este documento describe los diferentes tipos de medios de comunicación electrónicos y redes inalámbricas. Detalla los medios de comunicación físicos como cables de cobre, coaxiales y fibra óptica, así como medios inalámbricos como infrarrojos, microondas terrestres y comunicaciones por satélite. También explica los protocolos inalámbricos comunes como Bluetooth, Wi-Fi y WiMAX.
El documento describe los sistemas PACS, RIS e HIS utilizados en radiología. PACS almacena y comunica imágenes médicas digitales entre equipos mediante el formato DICOM. RIS controla el proceso radiológico desde la cita hasta el informe. HIS almacena información clínica, administrativa y económica del hospital. La integración de PACS, RIS e HIS es fundamental para el intercambio de información del paciente y explotación de datos.
Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)Shweta Tripathi
This document discusses and compares several Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). It begins with an introduction to PACS and their benefits and disadvantages. It then provides details on specific PACS solutions: syngo.via, GE Centricity PACS, Raster iPACS, and Open Source Clinical Image and Object Management (DCM4CHEE). For each PACS, it describes features like login screens, search options, and image viewing capabilities. It concludes by summarizing key differences between Siemens Syngo, GE Centricity, Raster iPACS, and DCM4CHEE in terms of their usage at AIIMS.
Este documento describe los planes para digitalizar el área de imágenes del Hospital de Pediatría Juan P. Garrahan. Se detalla la implementación de un sistema PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) y RIS (Radiology Information System) para digitalizar el flujo de trabajo, almacenar y distribuir imágenes médicas de manera segura y eficiente. El objetivo es mejorar la calidad del diagnóstico, agilizar los procesos y reducir los costos asociados con el almacenamiento físico de archivos.
PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) is a medical imaging technology that provides economical storage and access to images from multiple modalities. It began development in the 1950s and was further advanced by the military in the 1980s. PACS replaces film storage with electronic images that can be accessed from various workstations and remotely. It consists of imaging modalities, a network, workstations, and archives. PACS provides benefits like hard copy replacement, remote access, and integration with other medical systems, but high costs and need for training were initial disadvantages.

- PACS (picture archiving and communication system) allows for digital storage, retrieval, distribution and presentation of medical images, eliminating the need for physical film storage. It originated in the 1970s and has grown with improvements in imaging technology, network speeds and electronic health records.
- Key benefits of PACS include remote viewing and reporting, integration with health records, rapid access to prior images for comparison, and freeing up physical storage space. Disadvantages can include high implementation costs and ensuring sufficient bandwidth and workstation capacity.
- Modern PACS pull images directly from digital devices and allow radiologists and other specialists to efficiently share and analyze images across locations.
