A PACS Server: a computer with a lot of hard disk space and a PACS Server software, like dcm4chee.These informations can be found in the Preferences – Listener window in OsiriX. IP address, TCP/IP port number and AETitle are the informations required to connect each DICOM Node to the PACS network.

The clients display the images by using a medical imaging software: a DICOM viewer.Įach computer in a PACS network are identified by their network address (IP address), a communication port (TCP/IP port) and a name (AETitle): each computer is a DICOM Node in the PACS network. The server and the clients communicates by using the DICOM protocol (DICOM C-Store or Query & Retrieve). The modalities (MRI, CT, PET, Ultrasounds, …) send the images to the PACS Server by using a DICOM “push” ( DICOM C-Store). Typically a PACS network consists of a central PACS server which stores a database containing the images, and of multiple clients that can retrieve and display these images on medical imaging software.
