Department of Radiology, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC 20007-2197.

Georgetown University Hospital has been operating an image management and communications system (IMACS or PACS) for 3.5 years. This work was initially funded under the Army Medical Research and Development Command Digital Imaging Network Systems (DINS) project. The system was taken from a research system supporting only radiology tasks to one extended to clinical use, and has been used in clinical work for 3 years. This paper will summarize our PACS clinical experience and will describe the operational features implemented and those still necessary.
