摘要：Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are used to enable medical images from imaging modalities to be stored electronically and viewed on screens so that medical practitioners and other health professionals can access them. However, PACS comes with a lot of costs for storage, air conditioning licenses and so on, these necessitate the need to take advantage of existing technologies that can enhance adoption, especially in developing countries. More alarming is that data centres for electronic health services have been the target of several attacks and hacks in recent year, even though cloud computing has the potential of making the adoption of PACS more cost-effective. Cloud computing has a major drawback in the area of security. In this work, a framework for securing cloud-based PACS is developed and implemented.
