title: A view from the Nijmegen PACS project.
abstract: A view on PACS is given from a radiology department involved in PACS as part of its medical research environment. Special attention is payed to historical developments in medical imaging to study the context of actual PACS developments. Some directions of future diagnostic developments are indicated. Both image data-acquisition and presentation techniques are of interest to medical as well as industrial applications. It is pointed out how PACS is thought to depend on contextual factors.
