Dear PACS Insider,
Navigating PACS archiving options and planning for data migration can be intimidating prospects for any institution. To choose the right archiving approach, however, purchasers need to consider factors such as the number of prior studies on a previous PACS, modality upgrades, and study retention time, according to PACS consultant Michael Cannavo.
Mr. Cannavo turns his attention to data migration and archiving in the next edition of his Exploring PACS Secrets series, which is the subject of this month's Insider Exclusive article. As a PACS Insider, you have access to the story before it is published for the rest of our AuntMinnie.com members. To learn more about archiving and data migration approaches, click here.
