Abstract
A method for the integration of a picture archiving and communication syste m (PACS) at Kyushu University Dental Hospital with radiological information (RIS) and hospital information (HIS) systems is described. CT, US and DSA from different manufacturers were integrated by videocapture and then subse quently integrated with computed radiography (CR) by means of DICOM, The ap proximate amount of data stored each month on optical discs is 2 GB. The sy stem does not incorporate intra-oral radiography.
