Open Source PACS for echo , CT, MRI , gastroscopy and more

[Sebastian Hilbert]

Hi all,

Working with the guys from Ginkgo-CADx (Dicom viewer/PACS workstation) and 
working on GNUmed becoming a nice solution for a cardiologists office (to 
scratch my itch) I was searching for an OpenSource PACS to store Dicom data 
such as echocardiographic data and/or gastroscopy data.

There seems to be a few solutions and I was recommended to try
dcm4che [1]. This is both recommended by the authors of Ginkgo-CADx as well as 
the guys behind Osirix.

Despite the fact that there is (I believe) a large userbase in the neurology 
and neurosurgery fields I was not able to find this PACS packaged for either 
Debian, Fedora or openSUSE.

I consider this a missing link. Debian-med, Fedora medical and openSUSE 
medical should join forces to bring this to GNU/Linux since this will make it 
much easier to present GNU/Linux as the *the* platform for medical imaging.

Hello Sebastian,
thanks for your email! Indeed dcm4chee is scheduled for inclusion in
Fedora, as well as Ginko-CADx and many other software related to
medical imaging. You can find a tentative list here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Medical_Imaging

Feel free to add as many entries as you like.

Other packages capable of acting as a STORE-SCU/SCP are dcmtk which
has almost finished reviewing and gdcm which is already packaged.

Best,

Mario

BTW, I stumbled upon dcm4che because it is not only recommended by Mayam
(previousely suggested by you) but it is explicitely used as included
JAR file and thus I started looking into dcm4che.

Kind regards

Andreas.
