New direction in PACS education and training.
Full Abstract
The picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is an image information system that has become widely installed. For its successful implementation, training has been found indispensable. A review of PACS training thus far shows major emphasis was placed on the use of display workstations. As an integrated system, the PACS is much broader than the display workstations, having many components that need connectivity and customization. With the many potentials of further development, a more comprehensive education program on PACS is called for and a PACS simulator as a standalone training and research tool is deemed necessary.Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
