Abstract:
In this paper we report on a study on the possible scenarios for the introduction of PACS that was conducted at the LUMC in 2002 by a workgroup. The results of this study should facilitate the decision on PACS to be taken by the management of the LUMC at a later stage. In this paper our main research question is to what extent the decisions to be made at the introduction of PACS can be derived from an information system architecture in place, and vice versa: how can these decisions help to refine an information system architecture that is still immature.
