Multi-Dimensional Intelligence Integrated Server For Distributed Picture Archiving And Communication Systems

A coordination server (CS) is developed to integrate PACS servers distributed at different locations using web-based technology to facilitate data inter-change while the autonomy of individual PACS servers is preserved. In addition to ad-hoc information query and retrieval from the CS servers both at local and remote sites, an intelligence-enhanced program for automatic detection can be pushed from the CS to the PACS servers distributed at different locations to detect incidence of the disease at their location. When a case is detected in a distributed server, the result is sent back to the CS where a directory is created to keep track of patient records. Then the incidence of the disease in that location can be known.
