Summary
The transition from analog film-based imagery management to electronic imagery management in radiology departments and clinics requires good planning. Most importantly, it necessitates making accurate projections of storage and network needs and capacities prior to equipment selection. We offer below some simple mechanical calculation tools which can be used to estimate needs for electronic image handling when starting from film-based operations.
