    Abstract:
    Within the framework of the NIKA project for the development of a "Generalized System for Processing and Management of Medical Images", we have integrated a Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) station and a gamma-camera diagnostic modality to the newly developed generalized hospital-wide information system. The integration consists of acquiring, digitizing, converting and filing the information from the above diagnostic modalities to the hospital's Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The PACS, which is installed in the Onasio Cardiosurgery Centre of Athens, Greece, is responsible for archival, cataloging, retrieval and viewing of the large volume of patient examination data accumulated during his/her stay in the Centre. The ultimate goal is for all patient data, from all different examinations, to be viewed on dedicated client workstations. Information from different modalities can then be simultaneously presented to the attending physician, for a complete picture of the patient history and condition.
