Design and implementation of a radiological image viewing tool

Abstract

Recent developments in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in clinical environment allow physicians and radiologists to access and assess radiographic images directly through imaging workstations. In this thesis, an imaging workstation called RADVIEW^ has been designed and implemented for using in a PACS environment in radiology departments of large hospitals. The main function of RADVIEVV is the archiving of and access to radiological images by maintaining user friendly interactive environment to radiologists. The system can provide rapid access to any or all radiological information associated with a patient.
