PACS for teleradiology

In this paper a complete concept will be shown, to build a cheap, modular internet/intranet-based radiologic information system for hospitals or settled MDs. The goal of this system is to achieve internal/external access to DICOM-data, which are produced and archived in the several image-producing departments. Using the DICOM-standard as well as modern, platform independent Java programming and internet/intranet technology this goal can be reached. Core of the whole system is a PACS. Integration of all digital modalities by the DICOM standard is an essential proposal of the system's concept.
