Hi all,

Working with the guys from Ginkgo-CADx (Dicom viewer/PACS workstation) and working on GNUmed becoming a nice solution for a cardiologists office (to scratch my itch) I was searching for an OpenSource PACS to store Dicom data such as echocardiographic data and/or gastroscopy data.

There seems to be a few solutions and I was recommended to try dcm4che [1]. This is both recommended by the authors of Ginkgo-CADx as well as the guys behind Osirix.

Despite the fact that there is (I believe) a large userbase in the neurology and neurosurgery fields I was not able to find this PACS packaged for either Debian, Fedora or openSUSE.

I consider this a missing link. Debian-med, Fedora medical and openSUSE medical should join forces to bring this to GNU/Linux since this will make it much easier to present GNU/Linux as the *the* platform for medical imaging.
