Description
Summary:Abstract. The goal of this project was to plan and establish a teleradiology network to include all hospitals on the island of Greenland, consisting of 15 district hospitals and one central hospital (Queen Ingrid's Hospital) in the capital city of Nuuk. All medical images produced in Greenland should be stored in a central PACS where they can be accessed by all district hospitals. An existing HIS/RIS system should be integrated with the PACS, so that medical users can access, display and process images via a link in the electronic patient record. The paper describes the applied technologies and the final software architecture of that network.
