Digital image-management networks: problems in implementation.
The apparent advantages of a DIMS are often cited by those involved in medical information-management research. The promise of a high-speed electronic image-management system that could increase a department's patient throughput and improve patient care is most attractive. Every major manufacturer of medical imaging equipment has a group working to develop such systems. Many problems remain to be solved before such systems can be acquired, installed, and made operational. This paper has summarized the significant technical problems yet to be solved.
