The purpose of research is to provide basic data of installing PACS(picture archiving and communication system) of educational institution in Korea and to propose how to manage the system through researching installation condition of PACS of educational institutions in Korea and
case study of developing PACS in Cheongju University. For the research, we surveyed 45 universities which offers radiology in Korea and got 20 respondence (3 year-course : 10, 4 year-course : 10) out of them; 15 universities (75.0%) installed PACS out of 20; averagely installed
around 2006 since 2003 introduction and 2009 lately. Cheongju University installed full functioned PACS and it has image acquisition devices such as CR(computed radiology), DR(digital radiology), 4-channel MDCT(multi-detector computed tomography) and ultrasound device. It also has 2 TB storage capacity and uses Disk Array Raid Level 1 as storage method. Especially, each computer
terminals in 3-dimension image lab enable to get raw data because the computers set up as bi-directional communication client with main storage device. For the networking, Modalities,workstations and server connected with 1 Gbps Fast Ethernet level of intranet and 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet. We expect improved environment that assessing practical image without PC with developing mobile PACS.
