	abstract = {This paper describes the Picture Archiving and CommunicationSystem (PACS) developed for the Medical University of Szeged. 
The main aims of the development were to provide a tool to 
collect studies from different format and to use the archived 
information in the education and in the clinical routine. The 
system is able to collect studies from CT, MR, NM, US, SPECT 
modalities, from X-film scanners and from any station 
communicating according to DICOM storage- query/retrieve service 
class. The data are automatically converted from Interfile 3.3, 
ACR-NEMA 2.0 or TIFF formats into DICOM 3.0 format and stored in 
the data-server of the system. The study headers can be edited 
by graphic editor programs. The PACS can collect information 
also from the Radiology Information System (RIS) of the 
Department. In order to have an effective database management 
the users may use Oracle to retrieve, present or modify data. 
The Oracle system stores the whole header information but does 
not contain the image data itself. The clients can reach the 
database using capabilities and it can be used to avoid 
unauthorized connections. Our DICOM server gives the studies to 
the processing stations (PC-s, UNIX workstations or X-
terminals). Here the user can retrieve, process and present 
studies, furthermore, as a special aim, they can edit text and 
images into HTML format to create graduate and post-graduate 
educational material. Then this educational material can be 
stored also in the system/CD-ROMs and can be used in the 
training of medical students. Our PACS system is modular, 
flexible and based on a 4th generation functional programming 
language Tcl/Tk. This language has Oracle connection and 
graphical interfaces. In this way the same source code can be 
used by each client.
