Evaluating medical images is
became indepent of time and place with teleradiology.
Basically, images could be
reported outside of health centers where they were obtained.Frequently,
teleradiology appliances are
made of extensions of PACS and RIS (Radiological Information
System) systems.
What
is PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System)?
In recent years, development of
medical technologies become parallel with development
of computer technologies. With
changes of imaging methods, which are used for conducting
studies, some utilities were

briefly named PACS. PACS can be

images. This system enables to save digital images related

between open systems. HL7 standarts focus on exchanging

Modalities are machines which
take images in digital format. This equipments can
be vary as MR, CT, CR , US,DR,
NM.
LAN(Local
Area Network - Local Network)
A network which is formed by all
of equipments in a building, in a campus or in
an office. (PC, Server, Network
Printer, Modality, Switch, etc..) Mostly known devices
are, phsyically as UTP cable
(Alternate choice is Fiber Optic, Coaxial, etc...),
interface as Etherhet (Alternate
choice is Token Ring, Apple Talk, ATM, etc...),
TCP/IP as soft protocol
(Alternate choice is Novel IPX, IBM SNA, etc...)
What

permission. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the
U.S. Congress in 1996.
WAN
(Wide Area Network – Common network)
This is a network which has a
structure of combining LANs together.(Otherwise meaning
Private Network). (WAN = LAN1 +
LAN2 + LAN3) With another description, LANs can
be at different places but it
looks like you can run every network equipments from
one place. For example, if you
are able to establish a network between two centers,
you can create a LAN, not WAN.
Copper-plated cable or fiber optic cable are used
for WAN. Leased Line, Frame
Relay, X.25, Point to point G.SHDSL are used for interface
and TCP/IP is used for soft
protocol.
VPN(Virtual
Private Network)
VPN is the abbreviation of
Virtual Private Network. Communication is verified by
a encrypted tunnel between
public networks and internet. Companies can easily reach
their networks and servers using
POP points and strength backbone in safe. We can
describe this network type as a
WAN which uses internet. You can have the same result
with WAN and VPN, but there are
some negativities and positivities between them.
WAN is expensive, but it is
safer than VPN. Because this network belongs to only
you. It is necessary to have
components like line, modem, port.. Performance can
be guaranteed with choosen line.
VPN is more cheaper than WAN. It is suitable for
additional connections. VPN
doesn’t guarantee performance and security, this is
a handicap of VPN.
NAT(Network
Adress Translation)
Every network device must has an
IP number. This IP number is unique. It’s impossible
to give IP number for every
network device. In a LAN, 192.xxx is used as an IP number.
Converting of IP numbers in LAN
means NAT. NAT is used because there are limited
IP numbers. Current NAT version
is Version4 and you can express IP numbers like
this example “ttt.xxx.yyy.zzz”.
With IP Version6, there will be unlimited IP numbers.
(aaa.bbb.ttt.xxx.yyy.zzz)
Probably in 5 or 10 years, this system will be developed
so virtual IP numbers will not
be used anymore and eveybody will take their favourite
IP.
