Multiple Modalities, a PACS Server, and multiple PACS Clients (PACS Workstations / DICOM Viewers)

To build our PACS network, we will use OsiriX (always use the last available version!), as the DICOM viewer, and as the PACS server.

For the PACS Server: choose a MacPro with 4TB of storage to store up to 25 millions of CT images. We highly recommend a RAID system: for example, you can install 4 identical hard disks in the MacPro, and format them as a RAID 5 system. You’ll have faster performances, and a more secure system (no data are lost if a drive fails). You can also use an external RAID system, connected through FireWire or Thunderbolt for best performances (Promise VTrak, Promise Pegasus, LaCie RAID towers).

For the PACS Clients: choose iMac or MacPro, depending if you need to do 3D post-processing or only 2D viewing. If needed, connect a Medical monitors (Totoku, Eizo, …). A SSD is highly recommended for best performances when loading the images. Select at least 8GB of RAM.

Build your network on a 1GB or faster Ethernet hardware. Select high performances active routers.

For the PACS Server: we will use OsiriX MD with specific settings.

For the PACS Clients: we use OsiriX MD.

Use OsiriX MD for best performances, and unlimited performances.
