title: PACS in Kochi Medical School Hospital.
abstract: We have evaluated clinically CRT-based diagnosis and the performance of a picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) in the Department of Radiology, Kochi Medical School. The important requirements of PACS are a good human interface with the diagnostic workstation and a long-term image archiving device. Because the style of image management varies from hospital to hospital, an analysis of the image management policies of each hospital is also important for the configuration of PACS.
