Hi all,
we are currently in the process of evaluating different options for implementing a
microPACS solution with Q/R functionality for our institute. After going through all
the documentation available for ConQuest I am still wondering what would be the
most robust database backend for a Linux based server. I was able to get the
1.4.13 version running with MySQL on Linux without too much hassle and also
to succeed with some initial Q/R tests by means of findscu/movescu from the OFFIS
DCMTK tools.
By looking at the ConQuest documentation, the MySQL driver seems to be quite
promising in terms of performance but also the least tested and matured on Linux.
Therefore I would highly appreciate any direction from the experts for the
preferable database backend for ConQuest on Linux not only in terms of
performance but also in terms of its robustness, scalability and also in terms of
possible migration to a full featured commercial PACS system in the future.
Thank you very much in advance.
