Abstract
Image display on electronic medical record (EMR) workstations is an important step in widespread implementation of picture archiving and communications systems (PACS). We describe a pilot project for implementing image display capability that is integrated with the EMR software, and will allow display of images on the physician’s workstation. We believe this pilot will provide valuable information about usage patterns in image display needs, which will be valuable in planning further expansion of PACS in our institution.
Key Words: PACS, computerized patient Record Image Display, image compression
