Abstract

A three tiered network architecture is used at UCLA for our PACS project. Ethernet is used for connection to radiological imaging devices and as a global backup. FDDI is used to connect related computers in what is termed a PACS “cluster.” UltraNet is used as a high-speed backbone to connect the PACS clusters and the various image display stations within them.
