A Second Generation PACS Concept

Abstract

Up to the present, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) have used centralised image stores. It is now widely recognised that there is a need to move towards the idea of a distributed, multimedia filing system if PACS is to become practicable. The trend towards distribution, or decentralisation, of data in organisations has come about because of the need for local autonomy, modularity and extensibility of local systems, robustness of information availability in the event of component breakdown, and efficiency. Former trends which led towards centralisation of processing in the 1960s and 1970s were fuelled by “Grosch’s Law”, which states that the power of a computer increases as the square of its cost, a law that was clearly repealed in the 1980s. These trends have now been discontinued. So there are now well-recognised reasons, from the point of view of both technology advances and “user pull”, for at least considering the possibility of a distributed image archive rather than a centralised one in a PACS.
