Introduction: The progress in computer techniques has resultedin the digital archivation and transport of images of radiology and nuclear medicine without loss of information. The images and image series produced by various image modalities are converted to a uniform image format, which provides their interconnectivity and interoperability. The image transport is very important at hospitals comprising pavilion systems. Material and method: Through the computer network of the SZOTE Picture Archiving and Communication System (SZOTE PACS) serves the radiology education with the aid of computer displays. Result: ATM network devices allow the fast transfer of images. Silicon Graphics and PC viewing stations provide fast image processing and presentation. Use of the DICOM standards in SZOTE PACS permits the development of teleradiology services. Discussion: The hardware structure and the parameters of the system will be presented in detail. The PACS is connected to the Radiology Information System of the Department of Radiology and the Department of Nuclear Medicine. Conclusion: This makes automatic image archiving possible. The system is user-friendly: it can be handled with minimum computer knowledge. A group has been established at the University to perform the PACS management.
