Synopsis

Examining the use of state-of-the-art technology to achieve filmless radiology, this work describes its impact on healthcare systems, thus providing insights into re-engineering healthcare. Sharing expertise developed in implementing picture archival and communications system technology capable of supporting filmless radiology, it relates the experiences of the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center, the first site to have a fully-operational filmless radiology system. This is an overview of the subject, with advice on acquiring PAC systems. Also included are sections on its impact on the practice of radiology and the delivery of health care, clinical uses of computed radiography, technological issues, and case studies from both inside and outside the VA system.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Virtually all radiologists and healthcare administrators believe that every radiology department will be utilizing the cutting edge technology of PACS (Picture Archival and Communications System) in the future. Filmless Radiology is the first clinically oriented book to fully describe PACS and its impact on the cost and quality of patient care. Radiologist, medical physicists, physicians, nurses, and technologists will use it as a valuable source when navigating the transition from conventional to filmless systems. Radiology and hospital administrators will find it an indispensable tool for planning, justifying and purchasing a PACS. Computer system specialists, as well as biomedical engineers, will learn detailed and technical practical information about utilizing a PACS, and the networks and communication protocols required for successful operation. Students of all healthcare professions, engineering, and law will gain a comprehensive overview of the current state of art in medical digital imaging. Filmless Radiology chronicles the clinical and administrative experience acquired over the past several years by early adopters and providers of PAC Systems, and examines the future relationship of radiology to health information systems.
