A simple method of capturing PACS and other radiographic images for digital teaching files or other image repositories.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to develop an easy-to-use method of capturing and storing radiographic images.


CONCLUSIONS
The method that we developed can capture any digital image-including an image from a picture archiving and communication system (PACS)-using widely available, inexpensive software. Our method is easy to learn, simple to use, and inexpensive to implement. It is adaptable in a wide range of networking environments and can capture and store images rapidly for a variety of uses. It can be used without interfering with clinical workflow at the PACS workstation.
