Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)

Hello Matthew!

Sorry, i was a little busy… but i am back, working on OpenEMR. About PACS, time ago we evaluate DCM4CHEE and Orthanc, both show similar performance and functions. Finally we choose DCM4CHEE by the next points:

  1. Industry adoption.
  2. Code (our team work with java/php, not C++).
  3. Database (Postgresql native, not SQLLite).
  4. OpenSorurce (full opensource, no pro version).

The DCM4CHEE implementations works nice with 8TB, integrated with a PHP RIS and wasis web viewer. We work with Osiris MD for diagnostics and sometimes for “transitory” server. In Chile, my country, there are several DCM4CHEE implementations. Some hospitals and clinics uses Osiris MD as main DICOM Server (bigger than 20TB) integrated with RIS software.
Rigth now part of our team its testing again Orthanc and DCM4CHEE (new versions). We will tell you about our expirience.
By the way, both solutions are good.
PD: I am busy… but i hope have time soon to work with the OpenEMR community.
