title: [The Berlin Radiology Communication Project. The initial clinical experiences].
abstract: As part of a radiological communication project (RADKOM), two PACS systems of the radiological clinic in the Rudolf Virchow University Clinic in Charlottenburg and Wedding were connected via the BERKOM network of the German post office. Within the radiology departments, all CT and MRT systems were joined through a local network. The first results have shown that the PACS stations are of value for providing uniformity of diagnosis and for radiological conferences. It is evident, however, that the speed of transfer and the architecture within the PACS system would be of crucial importance for their practicability for radiological conferences.
