Dear AuntMinnieIndia Member,
The biggest buzzword in radiology today is PACS. The world is getting networked and so is radiology. Offices have become paperless and hospitals are going filmless.
Filmless radiology and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) are the subjects of an article we're featuring this week on AuntMinnieIndia by Col Sree Ram from the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune. In his article, Col Sree Ram examines the benefits of filmless radiology, its required resources, and whether the payoff is worth the investment.
In another article, consultancy firm Frost & Sullivan and imaging vendors give their inputs on the union budget that parliament passed last fortnight. Plus we've included brief highlights of the Clinical UltraSonography in Practice (CUSP) conference that will take place in Chennai later this month.
In our next issue, look for coverage from the upcoming Imaging Update - 2004 in Pune.
