“…The implementations of such systems have risen with the movement towards digital trend [3] and have deeply relied on the launch of the DICOM standard [24]. DICOM is one of the most popular standards in the medical imaging field [38] and provides a guide to support interoperability between multiple vendor equipment and systems [5].…”

Recent technological advances in medical informatics led to the adoption of new technologies in pathology clinical area. Digital pathology is allowing the acquisition, storage, and distribution of pathological digital samples, which are gathered by scanners and displayed in network workstations. This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges of digital pathology, and how it is changing education, training, and medical practice nowadays. A new paradigm of collaborative telepathology is proposed through a cloud-based architecture, fully compliant with the DICOM standard, that integrates a cross-platform pathology viewer, collaborative tools, virtual work-spaces, and personal storage areas. Data management and privacy are ensured through the implementation of a role-based access control mechanism. The solution was designed to serve distinct use cases, including telepathology and eacademy.

“…Finally, the STOW-RS (Store Over the Web by RESTful Services) allows the storage of DICOM objects in the Web archive server. The proliferation of DICOM compliant equipment enabled the exchange of data between medical imaging devices and triggered the implementation of PACS [22]. It contemplates a set of hardware and software that processes, stores, distributes and provides medical images or a portion of them in the healthcare institution [3,23].…”

Background and Objective: Nowadays usage paradigms of medical imaging resources are requesting vendor-neutral archives, accessible through standard interfaces, with multi-repository support. Regional repositories shared by distinct institutions, teleradiology as a service at Cloud, teaching and research archives, are illustrative examples of this new reality. However, traditional production environments have a server archive instance per functional domain where every registered client application has access to all studies. This paper proposes an innovator ownership concept and access control mechanisms that provide a multi-repository environment and integrates well with standard protocols.Methods: A secure accounting mechanism for medical imaging repositories were designed and instantiated as an extension of a well-known open-source archive. A new Web services layer was implemented to provide a vendor-neutral solution complaint with modern DICOM-Web protocols for storage, search and retrieve of medical imaging data.Results: The concept validation was done through the integration of proposed architecture in an open-source solution. A quantitative assessment was performed for evaluating the impact of the mechanism in the usual DICOM Web operations.Conclusions: This article proposes a secure accounting architecture able to easily convert a standard medical imaging archive server in a multi-repository solution. The proposal validation was done through a set of tests that demonstrated its robustness and usage feasibility in a production environment. The proposed system offers new services, fundamental in a new era of Cloud-based operations, with acceptable temporal costs.
