Abstract
Medical images play an essential role in electronic patient health care information for diagnosis, recommendation, and study. In radiology departments, the digitized imaging information for various modalities is stored in a standard Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) record. These digitized imaging records create very large volumes of electronic files in the medical information system. The records have two parts: text and image. The text part describes the details and specifications of the digitized images. This paper provides a methodology for storing the text imaging information in an integrated and centralized data warehouse for multiple medical facilities for enhanced information retrieval and analysis.
