O3-DPACS: an open source PACS solution for the O3 Consortium project

Contents of this book were inserted in the O3
Consortium research project, which had the aim to
propose a complete solution for the adoption of open
technology in the healthcare environment. The
solution should become a whole new model for e-health
application and include new products integrated with
a development, support and business model.
The author contributed to built a state of the art
server for the management of DICOM data and of
imaging objects (PACS Picture and Archiving
Communication System), with the aim to ease the
adoption of e-health technology and to develop a
product on which the model would have been tested.
It should be remarked that the O3 Consortium
means not only software development but also new
procedures in both technology and service delivering.
Should be noted the originality of the O3 Consortium
project proposal of a whole complete application
model to the healthcare real world based on open
source software. No other solution for open source
software application makes a complete proposal for
all the topics of development, design, software
architecture, support and business opportunity.
