| Popis: | The US Department of Veterans Affairs is integrating imaging functionality into the healthcare enterprise using the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard protocols 1. The VA's VistA Hospital Information System (HIS) is installed at all 170 VA medical centers across the country. Image management is supported by the VistA HIS in several ways. Some VA sites have commercial Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) interfaced to the VistA HIS, while other sites use the direct image acquisition and diagnostic display capabilities of VistA itself. By supporting a small set of DICOM services, VistA can transmit patient and study text data to the image producing modalities and the commercial PACS, and enable images and study data to be transferred back. Images can be displayed on low-cost clinician's workstations or high-resolution diagnostic quality multi-monitor workstations located within a facility or elsewhere on the healthcare enterprise wide area network. This is a US government work. There are no restrictions on its use. |
