Hello Bob,

At first, K-PACS is not intended to be a server solution. It can only handle up to a 1000 patients and is not dicom queryable. It's main field of application is server communication and diagnostics. A typical radiology setup would be: a real dicom server application (ConquestDicom is really recommendable, because it's easy to install, very stable and above all, it's free), one or more dicom capable modalities and one ore more diagnostic workstations like K-PACS. The local database is thought to be a cache for the most recent studies. If you turn of filemanagement, you could use the local database for instance as an 'interesting-case collection' or other kinds of small databases like that, but it is defenitely not usable as a big dicom server.

To the marking of already read images: I am currently working on it. It will be realized in the way, DicomWorks does it (differently colored patient names for read and unread).
