| Popis: | Large-scale picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) have not been widely implemented in this or other countries. In almost all radiology departments film remains the medium for diagnostic interpretation and image archive. Chest imaging is the dominant screening examination performed within most imaging departments and as such, is an extremely high-volume, low-margin examination. Digital technologies are being applied to chest imaging to overcome limitations of screen-film receptors (limited latitude) and current film management systems (single-image copy). Efficient management of images and information is essential to the success of a chest imaging program. In this article we report on a digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM)-based centralized printing network for chest imaging. The system components and their operational characteristics are described. Our experience integrating DICOM-compliant equipment supplied by several vendors is described. We conclude that the print model supported by DICOM is adequate for cross-sectional (eg, computed tomography and magnetic resonance) imaging but is too simplistic to be generally applied to projection radiography. |
