MDIS: A PACS and Teleradiology Project — Present and Future Configuration

The Medical Diagnostic Imaging Support System (MDIS) is a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) and teleradiology project for the military. This presentation demonstrates the wide scope of the project, listing the multiple present and planned future site and their interactions. Sites are located both within the U.S. and abroad. These sites vary from portable /deployable units and small clinics to 1000 bed Medical Centers. For example, the proposed configuration for Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii will support part of Asia and the Pacific Basin - 50% of the world’s surface area.
