After a comparison between traditional tele-imaging and traditional PACS approaches, the progressive fusion of these two fields of tele-medicine is discussed. The need for suitable protocols at different levels and their current availability are pointed out. Benefits of the introduction of relational databases and of distributed archives are considered. Finally, the integration of different types of images, data, signals and reports is presented as the final goal of tele-medicine programs.
