Abstract

All users of informatics applications need rapid and reliable access to the kind of information they are interested in. Web technology provides such capabilities. Thus, the evolution of medical systems and especially PACS that is the issue of this paper comes through World Wide Web. DICOM Standard committees attended these trends. They developed WADO (Web Access to DICOM Object) Service in order that system interaction inside PACS takes place through Web, in a standardized way, allowing interoperability and proper information management. The authors have recently began a project of a WADO based Web PACS development, according to the Standard specifications. In this paper a PACS Server, providing through a Web portal platform all DICOM Services to Internet users, is presented. Java technology is used to satisfy design considerations and dynamic data exchanges.
