Perched on the Shoulders of Giants... ‘OPEN SOURCE HOW TO INSTALL AND SETUP A PACS (DCM4CHEE) 16/09/2015 | DANIEL | 14 COMMENTS: Introduction A Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a medical imaging technology which provides economical storage of and convenient access to images from multiple modalities (source machine types). In our case we can use it to create pre-production environments to test PACS communications. For example, we can setup a PACS to send endoscopy images and retrieve radiology samples to an application. We are going to use the dem4chee open source solution from demache.org. This is a JEE and JMX system which is deployed within the JBoss Application Server to provide a number of clinical services. It may be used for a variety of different purposes, the most popular being: 1. DICOM archive and image manager 2. a PACS, when coupled with a viewer such as OsiriX, K-PACS, ClearCanvas, Ginkgo CADx, etc. Asa host, trying to use always open source solutions, we are going to use a GNU/Linux operating system, specifically Kubuntu 14.04 LTS (Long Term Supported). Asa database we are going to use PostgresSQL (9.3). We can find installation instructions at dcm4chee page, but there are not always updated, so | will show all the steps for the current versions.

Starting with dem4chee-2.12.0, the binary distribution package of the archive application does NOT include the dem4chee Audit Record Repository (ARR) anymore. The ARR maintains an audit log of all transactions within the archive. This is necessary for HIPAA and IHE. Some dem4chee deployment scenarios call for the deployment of the ARR ina standalone fashion because it acts as an ARR for more than one dem4chee instance, or multiple applications which can take advantage of an external ARR. Commonly though it is deployed within the dem4chee archive itself.
