Abstract:
Advanced image processing has moved from a luxury to a necessity in the practice of medicine. A hospital's adoption of sophisticated 3D imaging entails several important steps with many factors to consider in order to be successful. Like any new hospital program, 3D post-processing should be introduced through a strategic planning process that includes administrators, physicians, and technologists to design, implement, and market a program that is scalable-one that minimizes up front costs while providing top level service. This article outlines the steps for planning, implementation, and growth of an advanced imaging program.
