 Advanced Medical Imaging - PACS
Computed Radiography is a filmless imaging modality which uses a high sensitivity detector to record your x-ray image and computers to extract, enhance, manipulate and store the image data in a digital format.
Any medical image can be taken by any method, in any AMI facility and the images and reports can be accessed, read or viewed by any authorized Radiologist or Physician at any time anywhere in the city or even the world.
All of your medical images are stored in a highly secure environment at several locations to provide redundancy and disaster recovery in the event that an image archive was to fail.

 A Guide to Selecting PACS Part 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
PACS are complex systems that require a significant amount of support and user training.
As a result, the PACS selection process should also include investigation of the services and reputation of the PACS supplier, particularly in the immediate vicinity of the facility since the level of support may vary considerably throughout the world.
Facilities considering PACS or archiving purchases should stipulate that suppliers provide a means to transfer old images to the new archive, as well as provide assurance that image transfer to future technologies will be supported as the current technology becomes obsolete.
