Image Management In The System CA/1

Picture archiving and communication by computers needs not only support by the appropriate hardware, but also requires sophisticated software structures, if the needs of a clinical user are to be met in a consistent and flexible way. In the system CA/1 the problem oriented language PROFI-ll is used to implement the necessary structures for data management and communication with the user. This paper gives a short description of the system CA/l, the language PROFI-ll, the implemented data and communication structures and as an example its application for analysis and management of image sequences in digital radiography.
