| Abstract: | At the department of nuclear medicine of the University Hospital Utrecht a single modality PACS has been operational since mid 1990. After 1 year of operation the functionality, the organizational and economical consequences and the acceptability of the PACS are evaluated. The functional aspects reviewed are: viewing facilities, patient data management, connectivity, reporting facilities, archiving, privacy and security. It is concluded that the improved quality of diagnostic viewing and the potential integration with diagnosis, reporting and archiving are highly appreciated. The many problems that have occurred during the transition period, however, greatly influence the appreciation and acceptability of the PACS. Overall, we feel that on the long term there will be a positive effect on the quality and efficiency of the work done in our department. |
