How does a storage system know when to purge exams?
They have purge rule sets programmed
What is the legal requirement storing images as it pertains to resolution?
Images MUST be stored at the same resolution they were read
This standard enables a common registry that can support multiple repositories
Cross Document Sharing (XDS)

What does “Server-side rendering applications” mean?
It means PHI is not left on the mobile device after the images are closed
This represents a movement toward centralized storage and accessibility of patient data in an individualized format, and away from inefficient and costly maintenance of department/system specific silos of information.
Instead of having every “ology” on its own system, all info would be stored on the same server

A simple image viewer
What is meant by a zero footprint viewer?
No software is installed on the device you are viewing the images on. It’s basically all web based
What is the difference between an EMR and an EHR?
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) - Single organization
Electronic Health Record (EHR) - Cross-organization, like Canada

RAID 0
Which RAID level is called “mirroring”
RAID 1
What are the two types of PACS architectures?
Stand alone - single entity that stores images from modalities
Client-server - Web based PACS that interacts with either dedicated applications or web browser applications
Which PACS architecture is described as:

- Applications interact with the server to display images at client workstation
- Images are not stored locally
- Usually not promiscuous
- Often interfaced with a RIS
Client-server
