A PACS for Digital Video Angiography in Ophthalmology

  • Conference paper
Computer Assisted Radiology / Computergestützte Radiologie

Summary

We describe a PAC system for ophthalmologic application. The system has been developed at the LfM, RWTH-Aachen in cooperation with the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Aachen for two purposes:

  1. 1.

    Validation of novel technical PACS concepts in clinical environment and

  2. 2.

    Support for the introduction of new approaches to diagnostic image analysis.

First results from clinical implementation show, that the ophthalmologic PACS establishes the digital infrastructure required for a joint development, a daily application and an efficient validation of novel procedures for the quantitavie and qualitative evaluation of retinal angiography image sequences.
