title: Enterprise-class Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) image infrastructure.
abstract: Most current picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are designed for a single department or a single modality. Few PACS installations have been deployed that support the needs of the hospital or the entire Integrated Delivery Network (IDN). The authors propose a new image management architecture that can support a large, distributed enterprise.
