Abstract :
To evaluate PACS performance, simulation model of PACS performance employing PetriNet was developed and the simulation was carried out. Variables used in the simulation were measured in Osaka University Hospital. The authors developed model for three connection types of Image Display Terminal (IDT) and servers. From results, the authors found that Type I is optimized design of PACS with the shortest response time among three types
