Re: [openhealth] FOSS PACS

I wanted to make clear to everyone that while I am certainly no
expert, I am interested in PACS servers and RIS systems only here. I
know that there are many good open source DICOM viewers.

I am interested in the server side of things and preferably I am
interested in a solution that meets the requirements that Joseph is
talking about.

One important consideration for medical imaging in the US context is FDA
approval. While you can get away without it for "R&D" if all work is
done at cost... if you are on the service provision side of the equation
and you do more than a hand full of implementations you will need to
work with something that has been approved. Most imaging falls under the
first level of approval and is not too onerous to achieve.if you
want to handle mammography then the stakes are much higher.

Between DCM4CEE and Osirix (and Mitra, of course), most features of a PACS are 
covered (extremely well, BTW). Community support is also excellent in both 
cases). DCM4CHEE has some limited web access and a project in process to 
improve it, although I'm in the process of writing PHP access for my hospital 
which will be GPL when it is mature enough. Osirix is limited to Mac platform, 

There doesn't seem to be many installations of a significant size, though, 
although - I may be able to offer ourselves (550 beds) as a reference site at 
some point but need to tread gingerly.

Of course PACS is of little benefit without RIS, & I'm not aware of any OSS 
project that specifically covers RIS outside of whatever is included in Vista.

Google is your friend.

http://www.sph.sc.edu/comd/rorden/dicom.html

This page gives a fairly comprehensive list of 8 free pacs software packages
and about 50 free DICOM viewers.  No reviews though.

Hi,
Where are we on an open source PACS system? Do we have
something that is reliable and has actually been deployed and
