Case Study
Faculty of MedicineUniversity of Crete,Greece
Since our first presentations in EuroPACS 2006 the Research PACS system evolved:
Redesigned image viewing to support multiple views and independent image processing modules that the user can easily arrange on screen
Minimized lossless image retrieval time even through the Internet using advanced streaming technology
Improved networking capabilities including server to server synchronization
Optimized for large data sets (multi-slice studies) and large number of examinations
Tested the system as a regular RIS-PACS in two University Hospitals in Greece

Independent image archiving and distribution for research exams
Exam statistics
Advanced image viewing and processing (includes 3D reconstruction)
Full two-way integration with Matlab
End-users can develop their own image processing techniques in Java or Matlab within the system. All RIS-PACS information and functionality is available to these techniques
Exports ROI statistics from multiple exams/images to Excel

Integrated electronic medical record that can retrieve information from any HIS through HL7
Workflow- and role-based exam life-cycle support
Extended statistics on productivity
Easily and fully localizable to any language

Some Screenshots
Advanced series synchronization and 3D reconstruction are part of the basic functionality. Everything is available to new image processing techniques developed by end-users
Multi-view image presentation that can be arranged easily by the user
Two-way integration with Matlab
Faculty of MedicineUniversity of Crete,Greece
Researchers can develop and test new image processing techniques at a fraction of time required before
The incorporation of generated images, measurements and other information in publications has been significantly accelerated
New techniques are validated faster to become immediately available for application by radiologists on regular examinations
Geographically dispersed team members reduced travelling, minimized image exchange and increased their productivity
