Management of image information

Medical imaging has become a major investigation tool during the last few years, due to availability of several digitalised imaging modalities (Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance, etc.). Interest has grown in medical image management by appropriate information systems. These processing tools defined PACS - systems of acquisition, storage, transmission and communication - must be integrated on the one hand with the RIS - radiological information system (patient, appointment procedure) - and on the other hand with the HIS - hospital information system - to offer sufficient advantages to justify their installation.
