A thorough understanding of client-server relationships is crucial in choosing an appropriate PACS, since many different methods allow clients to view images from the server.
A thorough understanding of client-server relationships is crucial in choosing an appropriate PACS, since many different methods allow clients to view images from the server. A recent paper examines the five types of PACS client applications commonly in use and discusses their suitability for different users (J Digit Imaging 2006;19 Suppl 1:78-83).
"Understanding what questions to ask vendors, how to weigh trade-offs between functionality and supportability and the real world differences between types of clients, will help to more easily identify problem areas and plan for new PACS implementations," said Christopher Toland, a senior system administrator in the radiology department at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
