Abstract

The Computed Tomography System is aimed at availing the doctor of a non-invasive diagnostic tool to project an image of the patient's anatomy on a interactive display monitor. The total speed of data acquisition to first image is generally the perceived highest system requirement. The System need for archival storage of the images does produce a time limiting restraint on this need. The opportunity for advanced image analysis is at times ignored in deference to film due to the data acquisition impacts on the analysis within a single computer and the clinical needs of the attending physician. The presentation will address the benefits of film, tape and local area networking in the total picture of task distribution, archival storage, and improved analysis availability. It will delve into the dataset sizes and required technology in use within the CT system today. The concepts of multiscanner rooms feeding to a central archival storage facility and/or satellite image analysis stations will be analyzed as to the benefits, costs, and image analysis impacts. Then the projection toward the multi modality analysis system will be visited for benefits and needs. The question of wide area network access needs must ultimately be projected.
