3rd Edition
by H. K. Huang (Author)
Thoroughly revised to present the
very latest in PACS-based multimedia in medical imaging informatics—from
the electronic patient record to the full range of topics in digital
medical imaging—this new edition by the founder of PACS and multimedia
image informatics features even more clinically applicable material than
ever before. It uses the framework of PACS-based image informatics, not
physics or engineering principles, to explain PACS-based multimedia
informatics and its application in clinical settings and labs. New
topics include Data Grid and Cloud Computing, IHE XDS-I Workflow Profile
(Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Cross-enterprise Document
Sharing for Imaging), extending XDS to share images, and diagnostic
reports and related information across a group of enterprise health care
sites.
PACS-Based Multimedia Imaging Informatics is
presented in 4 sections. Part 1 covers the beginning and history of
Medical Imaging, PACS, and Imaging Informatics. The other three sections
cover Medical Imaging, Industrial Guidelines, Standards, and
Compliance; Informatics, Data Grid, Workstation, Radiation Therapy,
Simulators, Molecular Imaging, Archive Server, and Cloud Computing; and
multimedia Imaging Informatics, Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD),
Image-Guide Decision Support, Proton Therapy, Minimally Invasive
Multimedia Image-Assisted Surgery, BIG DATA.
- New chapter on Molecular Imaging Informatics
- Expanded coverage of PACS and eHR's (Electronic Health Record), with HIPPA compliance
- New coverage of PACS-based CAD (Computer-Aided Diagnosis)
- Reorganized and expanded clinical chapters discuss one distinct clinical application each
- Minimally invasive image assisted surgery in translational medicine
- Authored by the world's first and still leading authority on PACS and medical imaging
PACS-Based Multimedia Imaging Informatics: Basic Principles and Applications, 3rd Edition
is the single most comprehensive and authoritative resource that
thoroughly covers the critical issues of PACS-based hardware and
software design and implementation in a systematic and easily
comprehensible manner. It is a must-have book for all those involved in
designing, implementing, and using PACS-based Multimedia Imaging
Informatics.
