Abstract
The AquariusNET® 3D PACS system not only facilitates dynamic 3D imaging of DICOM data and surgeon-mediated 3D image processing, but also allows interaction with software used by radiation room servers via a generic windows-based computer terminal. Utilization of the AquariusNET® 3D PACS system simplifies observation of 2D and 3D images obtained via techniques including MRCPA and MDCT, and also simplifies observation of dynamic images, thus making it useful for the diagnosis of diseases commonly encountered in abdominal emergency medicine, such as gallstones (acute cholecystitis) and acute appendicitis, as well as conditions difficult to diagnose, such as rupture of a splanchnic artery aneurysm, torsion of the greater omentum, and herniation through a defect of the broad ligament of the uterus. Advances in MRI and MDCT techniques will no doubt be matched by an increased necessity for the PACS system in the future.
