The definitive guide to PACS -- now with more clinically
applicable material

In recent years, the field of picture archiving and
communications systems--PACS--and image informatics has
advanced due to both conceptual and technological advancements.
This edition of PACS and Imaging Informatics: Basic Principles and
Applications addresses the latest in this exciting field. In
contrast to the previous edition, this updated text uses the
framework of image informatics, not physics or engineering
principles, to explain PACS. It is the only resource that
thoroughly covers the critical issues of hardware/software design
and implementation in a systematic and easily comprehensible
manner.

To strengthen and update the book, the author:

* Emphasizes clinical applications of PACS and integrates clinical
examples throughout the text

* Reflects the many changes in the field, with new chapters on
Web-based PACS, security, integrating the healthcare enterprise,
clinical management systems, and the electronic patient record

* Uses the framework of imaging informatics to explain PACS,
making the book accessible to those without advanced knowledge of
physics, engineering, math, or information technology

* Explains how PACS can improve workflow, therapy, and
treatment

With the most systematic and thorough coverage of practical
applications available, this text is the complete guide for all
those involved in designing, implementing, and using PACS.
Professionals in medical and allied health imaging informatics;
radiologists and their technical staff; surgeons and oncologists
and their teams; medical and electronic engineers; medical
informaticians; and fellows, graduate students, and advanced
undergraduates will all benefit from this valuable resource.

"An excellent book for people involved in the design,
implementation, or simply the operations of PACS and an appropriate
textbook."

--From a review of the previous edition in IEEE
Engineering in Medicine and Biology

"The strength of the book lies in the vast experience of the
author, who has implemented PACS at numerous institutions in the
United States and abroad."

--From a review of the previous edition in
Radiology
