Abstract
Most current commercial and research Image Management, Archive, and Communication Systems (IMACS) utilize an „autorouted” or „prefetched” image management scheme to compensate for the limitations of network bandwidth and disk transfer time. After implementing one such commercial PACS to distribute images to a Trauma Center and several Intensive Care Units, the multidisciplinary IMACS research team at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) analyzed the autorouting method to discover ways to improve the system. The resulting proposal consisted of an „on-demand” method of image retrieval implemented with a high-speed network and a centralized storage system.
