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 dcm4chee open source solution from dcm4che.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:
As a host, trying to use always open source solutions, we are going to use a GNU/Linux operating system, speci cally
Kubuntu 14.04 LTS (Long Term Supported).

We can nd installation instructions at dcm4chee page, but there are not always updated, so I will show all the steps for the current
versions.
Installation of JDK
Although we can use the openjdk that comes with kubuntu, we are going to use the one from Oracle.

And choose the one that ts our platform (x86 tar.gz in my case)

This will create all the database structure. Now we have to setup the database access from dcm4chee. In your dcm4chee installation, use a
text editor to edit server/default/deploy/pacs-postgres-ds.xml and set the database password. This le controls the dcm4chee
connections to the main archive application database.
Starting with dcm4chee-2.12.0, the binary distribution package of the archive application does NOT include the dcm4chee 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 dcm4chee deployment scenarios call for the deployment of the ARR in a standalone fashion because it acts as an ARR for more than
one dcm4chee instance, or multiple applications which can take advantage of an external ARR. Commonly though it is deployed within the
dcm4chee archive itself.
Download the latest version from soruceforge related with the database we have chosen (postgres in our case)

After verifying that the archive works, you may want to run it as a service so that it stays running even when you log out. If still running in
the console window, you may stop the archive by Ctrl+C, and copy the init script dcm4chee_init_redhat.sh to /etc/init.d/ and adjust it
according your installation location of the archive and the JDK and under which user the archive application shall run.
