Results and experience with four years of development work on a filmless department in Mjölby health care centre.
Since the end of 1994, the radiology department in Mjölby has been running their activity without X-ray films. When the film developing machine at the department was discarded in April 1995, after six months of test-running of the new system, the film epoch was definitely abandoned. The practical experiences from working with digital images are all good. The background to this change lays in a four years development work, which has been supported financially by the Ostergötland County Council, Swedish National Board for Industrial and Technical Development (NUTEK), and a regional foundation for development of new ways to organise and perform work (Arbetslivsfonden).
