The Laboratory for Radiological Informatics
Robert G. Gould, ScD, Acting Director, 415/476-5941
The Laboratory for Radiological Informatics, located on the first floor of the
University Library, houses the clinical picture archiving and communication system
(PACS) image cache, long-term optical archive, database and web server. The facility is
also the site for research in medical image informatics. Equipment includes long-term
storage devices with heterogeneous high-capacity media, ATM, Gigabit and high-speed
network communication hubs, developmental workstations and 3D rendering engines.
More than 12 people work within the lab and are involved in both clinical and
research activities. Research projects include the implementation of a new hierarchical
storage scheme, enhancement of a digital teaching file, development of a meta-medical
archive connecting PACS at multiple institutions, and image security and compression
methods.

Research Directions:
- Digital radiography
- Tele-imaging
- Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) in the PACS environment
