Abstract

The scope of DICOM and PACS technology is currently limited to the trusted and static environment of the hospital. In order to meet the demand for ad-hoc tele-radiology and image guided surgery procedures within the global healthcare enterprise, a new technology must provide mobility, security, flexible scale of operations, and rapid responsiveness for DICOM medical devices and subsequently medical image data. Grid technology, an informatics approach to securely federate independently operated computing, storage, and data management resources at the global scale over public networks meets these core requirements. Previously, we presented an approach to federate DICOM and PACS devices for large-scale medical image workflows in global healthcare enterprises grids (HealthGrids). The globus MEDICUS (medical imaging and computing for unified information sharing) project uses standards based …
