A Little PACS (Student Research Project From Long Ago)
Link to heading
This was a pure Java Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that I built for our research lab…going on memory here, I no longer have access to the source
It included:
Pure Java based on J2EE design principles
Custom DICOM network layer
Run as static code to be optimized for a single processor, we optimize things differently now :)
Custom DICOM header parser
DB2 storage with xml columns for meta-data
Used only Implicit VR Little Endian transfer syntax (good enough for a research tool)
Threaded GUI in Swing
Tested against the St. Boniface Hospital PACS and eFilm DICOM viewer successfully
PACS Performance Monitor (Student Research Project From Long Ago)
Link to heading
This is a performance monitor for PACS networks…going on memory here, I no longer have access to the source
This tool is much like other performance monitoring tools but uses the DICOM network layer of the PACS I created to send data
Studies of known size are sent from a network of test devices
These are generated using a pre-determined distribution (random intervals, set intervals, Poisson)
Studies are sent and data is recorded
The master node then compiles statistics and outputs a report
