Abstract

Generally, PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System) play an important role in the patient care support system of the HIS(Hospital Information System). In the dental PACS, image search and storage is very difficult without standardized DBI(Dental Bitmap Image) file format and view browser because each of the X-Ray instrument and the other image use various image file such as BMP, GIF, TIFF, PCX etc. We proposed the DBI for fast review, classification, storage and transmission of the dental image. It is based on personal computer environment. Using the thumbnail in the DBI, we made image files such as a type of album and operated on PC. We implemented DBI file format that include the DBI viewer and slide show application and other function of fundamental PACS by means of visual C++ and Windows API(Application Programming Interface). This program is consisted of three parts: First, convert the various image file format into DBI file format so as to integrated medical image file format. Second, additional descriptor such as patient name or necessary information to image file and management image file format. Second, additional descriptor such as patient name or necessary information to image file and management image file using patient information or date. Third, execution of the image of the image edit and image enhancement and image copression. Beside this Program Provide GUI interface for user's facility.

Key Words: PACS, Bitmap Image, Thumnail, DBI Viewer, Slide Show, Image Acqusition
