Background:

Georgetown University Hospital has utilized a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for 3.5 years.
Initial funding was provided by the Army Medical Research and Development Command's Digital Imaging Network Systems (DINS) project.
The system evolved from a research-only tool to a clinically integrated solution.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize clinical experiences with a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS).
To detail operational features implemented in a clinical PACS environment.
To identify necessary features for future PACS development and integration.

Main Methods:

Description of the transition of a PACS from research to clinical application.
Analysis of operational features utilized over 3 years of clinical use.
