Abstract

A local area network of microcomputers, workstations, archival storage devices, and digital acquisition modalities has been installed by the Radiology Department at the University of Florida as the first step toward a comprehensive Picture Archival and Communications System (PACS). Neuroradiology PACS is implernented for two CT and two MR imagers with an optical jukebox archive and two levels of workstations. A Nuclear Medicine image communication system shares data among three acquisition Single Photon EJmmision Computed Tomography (SPECT) systems and five workstations. Teleradiology allows simultaneous access to portable radiographs in intensive care units and in radiology. In this paper, we address our eauly experiences with implementation and the results of evaluation of system performance as we move toward a non-film-based department.
