A picture archiving and communication system ("PACS") includes plural core components arranged in a cluster. These core components include an archive station which includes long-term storage for storing image data, and a reviewing station which includes a display for displaying images based on received image data. Also included is a network gateway which interfaces to a non-core component so as to receive image data therefrom, and which routes the image data to at least one of the archive station and the reviewing station based on a set of rules in the network gateway. Finally, a database server manages access to the image data, and stores information relating to the image data.

The article according to claim 8 wherein the unique codes are grouped into tables according to the respective lengths of the codes. 13. The article according to claim 8 wherein the unique codes represent Huffman codes. 14. The article according to claim 8 wherein each segment has a bit-length that differs from the bit-length of each other segment, the segments varying sequentially in bit-length up to the maximum length. 15. An apparatus comprising: symbol tables each of which stores unique codes of a particular length and stores a respective symbol corresponding to each code; and address decoders each of which is coupled to a respective one of the symbol tables; an input pipe configured to distribute segments of a data stream to the address decoders, each distributed segment having a same length as the codes in the symbol table coupled with the address decoder, each segment beginning at the same point in the data stream, and the segments ranging in length up to a maximum length. 16. The apparatus according to claim 15 wherein each address decoder is configured to: compare the received segment to the unique codes stored in the symbol table associated with the decoder; decode a particular one of the segments if the particular segment matches one of the unique codes based on the comparing. 17. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein the input pipe is configured to: distribute next segments of the data stream to the address decoders, each distributed next segment having a same length as the codes in the symbol table coupled with the address decoder, each next segment beginning at a point in the data stream immediately following the decoded segment, each next segment beginning at the same point in the data stream, and the next segments ranging in length up to a maximum length; wherein each address decoder is configured to: receive one of the next segments of the data stream, each next segment having a particular bit length corresponding to the length of the unique codes stored in the respective symbol table; compare each next segment of the data stream with the unique codes stored in the symbol table associated with the decoder; and decode one of the next segments based on comparing the next segments. 18. The apparatus according to claim 15 wherein the unique codes are grouped into tables according to the respective lengths of the codes. 19. The apparatus according to claim 15 wherein each symbol table are configured to store a set of the unique codes grouped according to their lengths and grouped in sequential ascending order. 20.
