A Neuroradiology MIRC database |
|
Clinical PACS (picture archive and communications system) is a rich source of teaching and research material, yet the potential for PACS to support non-clinical applications has not been fully realised. MIRC (Medical Image Resource Center) is a new central repository that defines standards for data exchange between institutes worldwide. In collaboration with the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBE), we have built a computer server that retrieves DICOM images from PACS, converts them to JPEG, and creates neurological disease databases, including ACR code indices. We test-populated the databases with teaching file cases from the PACS caseload of NNI Singapore. Together, PACS and MIRC have great potential to benefit radiology teaching, research and clinical support. |
