title: Development of a Fax-based system for incorporating nondigital paper-based data into DICOM imaging examinations.
abstract: We describe the development of software that allows and automates the routine inclusion of nondigital paper-based data directly into DICOM examinations. No human intervention is required. The software works by allowing the direct faxing of nondigital paper-based patient data directly into DICOM imaging examinations and is added as the first series in the examination. The software is effective in any typical PACS/DICOM server environment.
