最近在無線便攜式數(shù)據(jù)處理技術(shù)上的進(jìn)步使得在戶外網(wǎng)絡(luò)上安全保密地傳輸高度格式化的重要數(shù)據(jù)成為可能。無論診斷影像是否是高清晰度顯示，與診斷過程相關(guān)的信息需要壓縮無線工藝。

無線個(gè)人數(shù)字輔助技術(shù)十分符合醫(yī)學(xué)數(shù)字影像與通信基礎(chǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)。在放射科診斷醫(yī)生與醫(yī)療專家之間及時(shí)交換重要數(shù)據(jù)，使用無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)比傳統(tǒng)通信交流方式更加迅速而便捷。

IMCO技術(shù)國(guó)際公司研發(fā)的新型無線應(yīng)用軟件為圖像存檔與通信系統(tǒng)之間提供了無縫連接。新系統(tǒng)的特征包括：成本下降導(dǎo)致的生產(chǎn)力提高、獲取患者數(shù)據(jù)的速度更快、全天24小時(shí)不間斷的獲取患者信息（任何影像學(xué)資料）、在醫(yī)療保健機(jī)構(gòu)之內(nèi)甚至之外任何地方進(jìn)入系統(tǒng)、從任何公共無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)（比如旅館、機(jī)場(chǎng)）撥號(hào)連接，在醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)內(nèi)漫游、高速傳輸影像、警告、報(bào)告以及電子文檔。

一個(gè)好的系統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)保證網(wǎng)絡(luò)獨(dú)立于計(jì)算機(jī)和操作系統(tǒng)。另外一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)要求是保證其對(duì)操作者而言簡(jiǎn)單明了，而無論是使用硬件連接或者無線連接。這套軟件系統(tǒng)能夠在絕大多數(shù)醫(yī)療通信系統(tǒng)中使用而無需考慮制造商的因素。
 
Wireless Software for PACS
 
Recent advances in wireless portable data technology have made it possible to safely and securely transport richly formatted critical data to receivers on open-air networks. Whereas diagnostic imaging is still more or less restricted to high-resolution displays, information pertaining to the diagnostic process lends itself well to compact wireless technologies.

Wireless personal digital assistant (PDA) technology fits well into the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) infrastructure. By using a wireless network, timely important data exchanged between diagnostic radiologists and healthcare specialists can be induced more quickly and conveniently than with the traditional types of communication.

A new wireless software application developed by IMCO Technologies International (Pewaukee, WI, USA) provides a seamless connection to a picture archiving and communication system (PACS). Features of this system include increased productivity with subsequent decreased costs, faster access to patient data, around-the-clock access to all patient information (any image), access from anywhere inside the healthcare facility or even beyond, through web-based dial-in from any public wireless network (I.e., hotel, airport), when roving within a facility, and high-speed distribution of images, alerts, reports, and electronic files.

A good system design keeps the network independent of computers and operating systems. Another design feature makes it transparent to the users whether the devices on the network are using hard-wired or wireless connections. This wireless software system can be applied in most health communication systems while being vendor-neutral.
