Picturing Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) is a tool used to store, retrieve and share medical images among healthcare professionals. PACS systems make it easier to manage medical images since it contains integration with Dicom standard, that implements the dimse protocol which is used to perform medical images retrieve/upload operations. InVesalius is a desktop tool that allows the visualization and tridimensional reconstructions of Computed Tomography and also Magnetic Resonance Imaging files. InVesalius allows uploading a set of images from CT or MRI and then it shows the Coronal, Sagittal and Axial planes and also allows the application of masks to reconstruct the images in three dimensions. Currently InVesalius does not have integration with PACS systems, this means that all the files are handled by the application. The suggested proposal presents a schedule to integrate multiple PACS systems with InVesalius. The schedule includes all the steps needed to integrate both systems, aiming for usability and code maintainability.
