The main target of this research was the analysis, design and implementation of a PACS system based on DICOM standard. This project was developed in four stages: Analysis.- identification of the system's needs based on the Problem Recognition, Shaping and Specification. Design.- the system was defined for its interpretation and physical implementation, designing the database, the user interface and the Classes. Implementation.- creation of the graphic and web interfaces. Testing.- application of images acquisition tests to the graphic interface and information display to the WEB interface. The result was a system with the following characteristics: it manages the patient's information database; it has the libraries for the different types of images; an image and database server that can give service to multiple clients and that supports the DICOM protocol for the acquisition of medic images loading Composed Information Objects (IOD-Composed); it possesses a graphic interface for the image acquisition - the system shows the information of the patient, medical research, equipment, series, and image according to the user (Visualizer) request, using a WEB interface; Mechanisms were implemented for the privacy protection of the system, controlling the access to the database through SSL. The image acquisition graphic interface controls the access.
