Abstract

This research proposed a system, which integrated the complete patient information, including the medical images, for assisting orthopedics clinic diagnosis. The system concurrently operated with legacy systems and conformed itself to correspond with the current environment. It was unnecessary to modify the present systems for our system implementation. The system resulted in minimal impact to the current healthcare institutes, and promoted the communication of medical images among departments. It offered a valuable reference for PACS implementation.
