This paper presents the implementation of a laboratory classroom simulation of radiology networking
technology. The simulation focuses on educating undergraduate students in various aspects of installing and
applying radiology Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in a networked environment, based on
the Digital Image and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard, with particular emphasis placed on studentcentered
learning. Laboratory structure enables students to simulate the operation of radiology departments in terms
of DICOM communication with imaging devices, storage and archiving of DICOM information and DICOMcompatible
digitization of film-printed radiographs.
