Abstract
Document architecture is a fundamental element in the design architecture of picture archiving communication systems (PACS). This article gives an overview of a multimedia document architecture in terms of logical and layout structures and describes a method for organizing and modeling multimedia diagnostic reports. The proposed document model is based on the office document architecture (ODA) ISO standard with additional enhancements to satisfy the functionality required of future interworking PACS.
