title: Default display arrangements of images on PACS monitors.
abstract: Our hospital is currently installing one of the largest non-military hospital-wide picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) in the world [1, 2]. We are designing default modes for the display of images on PACS workstation monitors so that these can be implemented in future software releases. In this article we present the considerations and reasoning influencing our decisions upon how best to arrange and present the images from the various radiological modalities for ease of soft copy reporting.
