Abstract

A methodology was developed for the analysis of imaging network workflow. The method was applied to the ultrasound component of the PACS at the University of Washington. It was determined from the simulation throughput and utilization results for the ultrasound PACS that the network required reconfiguration of the shared and switched ports as well as reallocation of life transfer pathways. The results lead to the conclusion that the methodology is not only highly automated, but reduces the time to insight.
