To make picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) a practical reality for small-scale structures, it appears necessary to build a network that integrates and optimises production management, analysis and storage of images, and to include the ability to communicate with other similar remote structures. To solve the various technical problems related to small-scale PACS implementation, MicroPACS, a local area network, was developed around PC-like microcomputers. Every necessary function is assessed and implemented, including a centralised data-base, a distributed image bank, different storage levels and a specific task for image exchanges. An additional protocol was also developed for remote consultation through ISDN. Standardisation of image encapsulation and a point-to-point link between remote sites ensure easy transfers between heterogeneous local networks or bases and integrity of local databases.
为使图像存档与通信系统（PACS）在小规模结构中切实可行，构建一个集成并优化图像生产管理、分析与存储的网络，并具备与其他类似远程结构进行通信的能力似乎很有必要。为解决与小规模PACS实施相关的各种技术问题，围绕类似个人计算机的微型计算机开发了局域网MicroPACS。对各项必要功能进行了评估并予以实施，包括集中式数据库、分布式图像库、不同存储级别以及图像交换的特定任务。还开发了一种通过综合业务数字网（ISDN）进行远程会诊的附加协议。图像封装的标准化以及远程站点之间的点对点链接确保了异构局域网或数据库之间的轻松传输以及本地数据库的完整性。
