摘要
The concept of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) appeared in 1982. Twelve years later most PACS prototypes still do not satisfy the medical community requirements: too much emphasis has been put on technical solutions and little effort devoted to the management of images itself. A common approach to this problem is needed more than ever to allow cost-effective systems to be developed. Modelling is a way to reach this objective, and the MIMOSA topic within the AIM/EurlPACS project aims at defining such a model of medical image management. This paper presents the MIMOSA approach with the three underlying constraints, i.e. genericity, implementation independence and performance. The MIMOSA group is building three interrelated models: a data model, a functional model and a dynamic model. However, in this report we focus only on the functional model, and explain how it was abstracted from various clinical scenarios in the first phase of the project. The availability level concept is introduced as a customizable and implementation independent solution to the problem of managing the delay of access to the information. The so-called contextual diagram and the acquisition of a new examination which are two representative parts of the model are detailed. The validation aspects and the relationships to projects working on the management of patient records are addressed as a conclusion.
