A Review of PACS on Cloud for Archiving Secure Medical Images

摘要

Clinics and Hospitals are acquiring increasingly technological resources that assist in a quicker and more accurate diagnosis, in order to make it more dynamic and effective. This is causing health entities seek more modern equipment and advanced technological resources. The exams come to doctors with information processed in many different software and hardware. With the large number of information contained in exam increases the size and number of images present in the patient exam. Over time the volume of images grows exponentially, saturated retention capacity of information contained in Storage. The acquisition of new hardware to support accumulation of Terabytes size has been a major problem in these institutions. Thus this article demonstrates a scalable and less impactful on the environment, because it promotes energy savings, consumption of film and paper used in the printing of reports. PACS on Cloud proves efficient for archiving medical images, enabling access to the examination /patient report of any locality, being independent platform used for access.
