A paper from Greece proposes a data-centric network that employs Grid architecture to construct web PACS portals to meet radiology department data management needs (Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc 2007;1:6429-6433). The hardware and software infrastructure is capable of providing reliable, low-cost access to high-end computing. The architecture yields a large-scale computing network from inexpensive off-the-shelf servers and storage devices. All components perform as a logical portal platform to provide web PACS services.
