The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of a personal computer-based small PACS using analog video images. The analog video recorder, personal computer, and display monitor constitute our system. An analog video recorder is composed of a laser disk recorder for still images and a video cassette recorder for moving images. The acquired video images are managed by a personal computer and database software. The serial communication ports of the personal computer and a video recorder are connected with the reverse cable, and the video recorder is controlled by the personal computer using our program. This system enables filing of multi-modality images including moving images and is used for following up and treatment planning of the patients who received radiotherapy.
