Comparing film and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) radiographic studies is now easier. A simple method allows PACS monitors to function as viewboxes, improving convenience and ergonomics without extra resources.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional comparison of film-based and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)-based radiographic studies presents ergonomic challenges.
  • Lack of suitable viewboxes near workstations hinders efficient side-by-side comparison.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a resource-free method for comparing film and PACS radiographic studies.
  • To enhance the convenience and ergonomics of radiographic study comparison.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a PACS display monitor as a rudimentary viewbox.
  • Implementing a simple maneuver to facilitate side-by-side comparison.

Main Results:

  • The described method effectively facilitates comparison between film and PACS radiographic studies.
