Multi personal computer storage system: solution of sea capacity PACS storage.

OBJECTIVE: According to the characteristics of digital medicine and the demands of digitalized management in hospitals, we established a storage system that is affordable, highly expandable, and reliable. METHODS: The multi personal computer storage system (MPCSS) was constructed using hardware and software. The image data were archived from major servers to storage personal computers (PCs) by using Neusoft-picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and backed up on storage PCs. We simulated data loss on storage PCs and then restored the data. We also expanded the storage system to enlarge its capacity. RESULTS: The average transfer rate from MPCSS was 27.7 MB/s, and the average cost for this system was yen 74/GB. In the testing stage, only 6 of 187 instances of data retrieval (from 100 patients) failed. CONCLUSION: The MPCSS is much less expensive than other high capacity systems or devices. It is feasible and suitable for digital image storage.

Digital image archiving.

The digital camera has become a valuable component of the clinical practice for many otolaryngologist head and neck surgeons. Because several technical details distinguish digital cameras from their standard 35-mm counterparts, having some knowledge of these features is crucial for integrating digital imaging successfully into a practice. This chapter discusses these cameras and digital output, with an emphasis on their use in a medical practice. The author also explores current and future applications and gives a summary of limitations and benefits.
