Picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) in private practice: St. Paul Radiology PACS project.
While much of diagnostic radiology is practiced in a private setting, many of the papers and presentations describing picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) implementation to date have been sponsored by university and government health facilities. We will present a 4-year retrospective review of a private practice PACS project. The challenges, benefits, and cost analysis of the PACS project will be presented.
