Q

❑ PROBLEM: Images and patient data generated by the modality contains format information unacceptable for the on-site PACS operation

❑ SOLUTION: —

A

Acquisition GW computers (“modality integration unit”/MIU) are placed between the modalities and the rest of the PACS network to isolate the host computer in the modality from the PACS
