Picture archiving and communication system in which image data produced at various locations is stored in data bases at various locations in accordance with lists of image ID data in the data bases
First Claim
1. A picture archiving and communication system, comprising:
- at least one data output means for outputting image data and appendant data, the appendant data including at least specific data used for specifying or identifying the image data and destination data representing where the image data should be sent;
at least one terminal means from which specific data used for specifying or identifying image data and destination data are entered independently of the appendant data output from said at least one data output means; and
at least one data base means for receiving image data from said at least one data output means, each of said at least one data base means, including means for preparing a register list containing at least specific data and destination data entered from said at least one terminal means and corresponding to the image data to be received by said at least one data base means.

Abstract
A picture archiving and communication system comprises an image data output section, a terminal station, and a plurality of data bases. The image data output section produces diagnostic image data in accordance with examination requests made at a plurality of diagnosis departments, and outputs the diagnostic image data together with appendant data (which includes destination data indicating where the image data should be sent). From the terminal station are entered specific data used for specifying the image data produced by the image data output section, and destination data representing where the image data should be sent. The data bases are located at various diagnosis departments. On the basis of the data entered from the terminal station, a register list is prepared at each of the data bases, and the appendant data supplied from the image data output section is collated with the data recorded in the register list. In accordance with the results of the collation, image data is selectively stored in the data bases.
