Filmless medical imaging: experiences of the Massachusetts General Hospital.
As the concept of picture archival communication systems (PACS) gathers momentum, the vision of a filmless digital department and digital image management has become a reality. This report will discuss the experiences of a major health-care institution with implementation of a large-scale PACS. Specifically, we discuss success with a modular, nonproprietary, multivendor solution that offers flexibility and state of the art functionality at our institution.
