The physical CONNECTION between the devices.
. Network Connectivity
26
four types of Network Connectivity? (CTFE)
Coaxial cable * Twisted-pair wire * Fiberoptic cable * Electromagnetic waves
27
Consists of a center conducting wire surrounded by insulation and a grounded shield of braided wire *is the sturdiest wire used.
Coaxial Cable
28
Consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire
Twisted Pair Wire
29
.Most common connection medium for a LAN
Twisted Pair Wire
30
Uses glass threads to transmit data on the network
Fiberoptic Cable
31
disadvantages of using Fiberoptic Cable
*More expensive and fragile, than its metal counterparts. *Easily damaged by kinking and twisting
32
Wireless Connections does not need physical cabling. each device must contain the appropriate wireless transmitter and receiver. (T or F)
TRUE
33
What is the biggest advantage of Wireless connections?
Mobility and convenience, but connection has a limited range.
34
The simplest device for connecting SEVERAL PIECES OF EQUIPMENT .Is commonly used in small office and home applications
Network Hub i
35
Similar to a hub, but sends data only to those devices to which the data are directed
Network Switch i
36
Created so larger networks can be segmented toREDUCE TRAFFIC . Bridge: a physical (wired) connection from one network segment to another.
Network Bridge
37
A more sophisticated device. Usually found in large networks, multiple routers, switches, and hubs work In concert to perform the necessary tasks.
Network Router
38
One type of addressing is
IP (Internet protocol). Address is made up of four octets (groups of 8 bits) of numbers.
39
.What is an agreed-upon set of rules that data use to move through a network
Network Protocol
40
A packet is a piece of the data with ADDED information such as the following (dss)
*Destination address *Source address *Sequence of the packets (e.g., 2 of 12) *Errors in transmission
41
The physical (geometric) layout of the connected devices on a network.
Network Topology
42
Four common topological configurations are the following are: BRSM
*Bus *Ring *Star *Mesh
43
Devices that are physically attached to and listen for communication on one single wire.
a Bus(Topology
44
What are the disadvantages of using a Bus?
The wire is a single point of failure. *If a break occurs, the entire network is down.
45
Devices that are connected in a CIRCLE .Data transmissions move around the circle until they reach the correct receiver.
Ring
46
What are the disadvantages of using a Ring?
A break in the ring HALTS the entire network.
47
Devices that are connected to a central hub or switch. * Most COMMON Topology used.
Star
48
A device that consists of MULTIPLE pathways of interconnecting devices and networks *The Internet is based on this topology.
Mesh(Topology?
49
Developed by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) *First version completed in 1985 (1.0)

holds the patient's FULL MEDICAL INFORMATION from hospital billing to the inpatient ordering system.
His
52
all RADIOLOGIC -SPECIFIC Patient data from the patient scheduling information to the radiologist's dictated and transcribed report.
Ris
53
is a part of the HIS and contains all patient's record.
EMR electronic medical records
54
Medical Image Management and Processing Systems
MIMPS
55
The physical hardware that electronically STORES and RETRIEVES medical images

57
MIMPS covers most of the historic definition of a PACS EXCEPT
The display and storage of medical
 images. and identifies image manipulation tools.
58
1. Image acquisition(The machines) 2. Display workstations (The computers) 3.Archive servers (Where images are stored.)
fundamental PACS component
59
Any computer used to view a digital image *Most interactive part of a MIMPS*
 Used inside and outside of the radiology
Display workstations
60

Archive Servers consist of
61
How a process is done step by step or how a task is completed
Workflow
62
Defined the hardware and software infrastructure of a computer system.
System Architecture
63
Client or server based * Distributed systems * Web-based systems
three common architectures
64
What is the disadvantages of using Client or Server Based systems?
*If the archive goes down. the entire system is down, and no image movement can take place.
65
acquisition modalities that SENDS the images to a designated reading station and to review stations.
Distributed Systems
66
What are the advantages of Distributed systems
1. if the server goes down, Local reading wont be interrupted 2. Data less likely to be lost 3. Less dependent on network for speed.
67
A place where records or documents are preserved
The archive
68
