title: Design and implementation of a distributed teleradiaography system: DIPACS.
abstract: Medical imaging informatics has origins spanning back over two or more decades. Currently, sharing of radiological images for diagnosis, collaborative and administrative purposes is one of the challenging issues in both medicine and computer science. In this study, we designed and implemented a distributed PACS system, namely DIPACS, for small and medium scale medical networks. DIPACS forms a virtual organization by combining the storage of health centers and providing transparent access to images. In this study, we introduce the DIPACS architecture together with the implementation details.
