Health Imaging & IT - May 2008 - (Page 59) normal workflow, Chang observes. Like the previous model, the drawback to this schema is that it calls for the storage of both thick and thin slices. A Complete Dataset archive with an integrated workstation model permanently stores thin slices, which permits the use of advanced visualization components on all current and prior studies. Integrated tools in the workstation provide convenience to the interpreting physician and supports workflow requirements, and the architecture eliminates the inefficiency of storing redundant thick slices, Chang says. The disadvantage is that it increases the PACS permanent archive storage requirements. The Complete Dataset archive with thin-client/server communication model holds the most advantages, according to Chang. He says that it permanently stores thin slices, allowing the use of current and future advanced visualization software on prior and current studies; it supports workflow requirements; it allows for automated generation and transmission of thin slices; it reduces hardware and network requirements for workstations; it can improve client-workstation performance; and it allows for the utilization of full-featured advanced visualization tools via web viewers. However, it does increase PACS archive storage requirements. The need for more storage to meet advanced visualization demands may not play as negative a role as one might think, primarily due to technology advances and the effect of economy of scale influences on the image archive market space. “Current and even near-future storage requirements for large image datasets track reasonably well with continuously improving technical and economic efficiencies related to mass storage,” Chang notes. “These trends have significantly influenced archive persistence models for large image datasets.” HealthImaging.com May 2008 | Health Imaging & IT 59 http://www.portwell.com http://www.portwell.com http://HealthImaging.com
