Case Study
Faculty of Medicine
University of Crete,
Greece
Since our first presentations in EuroPACS 2006 the Research PACS
system evolved:
Redesigned image viewing to support multiple views and independent
image processing modules that the user can easily arrange on screen
Minimized lossless image retrieval time even through the Internet using
advanced streaming technology
Improved networking capabilities including server to server
synchronization
Optimized for large data sets (multi-slice studies) and large number of
examinations
Tested the system as a regular RIS-PACS in two University Hospitals in
Greece

End-users can develop their own
image processing techniques in Java
or Matlab within the system. All RIS-
PACS information and functionality is
available to these techniques
Exports ROI statistics from multiple
exams/images to Excel

Some Screenshots
T2 and T2* parametric map generation
algorithm developed by University of Crete and
integrated into Research PACS
The screenshot demonstrates an application to
liver iron overload measurements
Integrated electronic medical record
that can retrieve information from any
HIS through HL7
Workflow- and role-based exam life-
cycle support
Extended statistics on productivity
Easily and fully localizable to any
language

Some Screenshots
Advanced series synchronization and
3D reconstruction are part of the basic
functionality. Everything is available to
new image processing techniques
developed by end-users
Multi-view image presentation that can be
arranged easily by the user
Two-way integration with Matlab
Faculty of Medicine
University of Crete,
Greece
Researchers can develop and test new image processing
techniques at a fraction of time required before
The incorporation of generated images, measurements and other
information in publications has been significantly accelerated
New techniques are validated faster to become immediately
available for application by radiologists on regular examinations
Geographically dispersed team members reduced travelling,
minimized image exchange and increased their productivity
