2. Architecture
 It is logical and functional description of the
hardware configuration of the system.
 While planning PACS architecture both current
and foreseeable issues must be taken into
consideration.
 This is difficult because both organization and
the technology are never in static state.

4. Elements of architecture
Operational fit
Versatility
Scalability
Robustness/Fault Tolerance

5. Comparison of PACS

Distributed
Model
Centralized
Model

6. Historic Distributed Model
 Approach
 Network speed
 Storage
 Slower
 Expensive
 Solution: Transient Storage at workstation.

7. Historic Distributed Model

8. Current Centralized Model
 Two Layers
 Core.
Workstation.
 Thin Client Leveraging standards.
 Operating system and Web Browser Technologies.
 Network speed and Bandwidth.
 Integration into other hospital applications.
 Auto-routing and pre-fetching of images not required.
 Scalability.

9. Current Centralized Model

10. Transitional Technology
 Incorporate both the models
 Pre-fetching, routing and fast retrieval of
images.
 Multiple versions of workstation.
 Complex Architecture.
