Abstract

While digital imaging promises to revolutionise radiology, switching from analogue to digital technology tends to be a gradual, evolutionary process. The decision to go digital involves more than radiologists and once the decision is made to invest in PACS, questions relating to funding and which system to purchase must be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties. There are numerous potential pitfalls in installing PACS, raising the question of who should be responsible for troubleshooting and maintenance. To hear the experiences of a panel of radiologists who have made or are making the transition to the digital world, ECR and Kodak co-hosted a roundtable in Vienna in March 2004.
