Web-based viewing of picture archiving and communications systems images—Part I: Optimal personal computer configuration

Abstract

Now that picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) has matured, our challenge is to make the images available to the referring physician and, in a teaching institution, to make these images available for conferences and rounding. One solution is the distribution of the images using web-based technology. We investigated a web-based add-on to our PACS to determine the characteristics of the personal computer that will make this technology useful and affordable. We found that images can be viewed easily through a web-based system. We found that the optimal system to view these images at a reasonable speed and a reasonable cost is on with a mediumrange processor (200 to 300 MHz) and a large amount of inexpensive RAM, at least 64 Mb.
