PACS DB scheme

In comparison to classic PACS DB, this scheme:

• concatenates patient and study in the E table
• stores encapsulated objects (xml, pdf, ...) at series level
• diferenciates each frame of an instance
• registers stacks, GSPS and KOS as groups of frames related to the series

Tables

Tables and usage in a webpacs context

E patient study

Concentrates all the fields necessary to locate a study based on filters and authorizations

S series

Contains:

• encapsulated objects (xml, pdf, ...)
• an icon for left column list of series in the navigator

I instance

F frame

G group within the series

Provides eventual alternatives to the all inclusive groups of frame named instances. For instance stacks, GPSP, KOS, etc. The icon and desc of the group should appear into a submenu of the left series icon column.

M frame membership within a group
