Experience with a Hospital-Wide Image Management and Communication System: Is Total Digital Radiology Possible?

  • 55 Accesses

Abstract

Management of the vast amounts of medical images and information generated by today’s clinical services is a growing problem [1]. The solution to the problem will increasingly require the use of advanced computer-based technologies in data storage, image display and communication, and human engineering. Progress in individual technologies has been rapid; however, system integration and user acceptance have been slow in coming.

This research was supported by the US Army Medical Research Acquisition activity of the US Army Medical Research and Development Command (contract no. DAMD 17–86-C-6145). The views and opinions contained in this paper are those of the author.
