“…The cost will be further reduced because the number of repeated examinations can be dramatically reduced with the use of the imaging plate technique. In a cost analysis by Nudelman et al of a photoelectronic digital radiology department, it was predicated that, although start-up costs are high, over time the photoelectronic-digital systems promise to be significantly less expensive than a film-based system for long-term hospital use [11].…”

Oral cholecystography was performed on ultrasonically proven cases of cholelithiasis. The conventional screen/film system and computed radiography (CR) using the imaging plate were used under practically identical conditions. The diagnostic accuracy of the two techniques was assessed objectively, and the image quality was assessed subjectively. The CR image proved to be better than the conventional screen/film image, even with the low-dose exposure. This paper describes our experience in the area of the biliary tract system with CR - a digital radiographic system using photostimulable phosphor.

This paper discusses our implementation plan for a digital image processing and viewing network in a large radiology department. We have selected a broadband coaxial cable network as the transport medium with a partial decentralization of computing facilities.We will also be implementing the system in the department in a series of phases designed to provide a smooth transition from present methods to network utilizing ones.Our reasons for choice of transport medium and a rationale for the phases and their selection will be covered. Potential problems and contingency plans will also be discussed.

“…Early attempts to identify costs and benefits identified variables used today when evaluating P ACS. Cost/benefit analyses have focused on quantifying direct benefits in which the primary economic justification relates to buying, processing, and handling film and chemicals; storage space; labor for archiving and retrieving images; equipment; and film loss [11,15,[24][25][26].…”

Abstract:Integrated clinical imaging systems can provide the foundation for future computer-based patient record systems as recommended by the Institute of Medicine. However, documenting the benefits of such systems is difficult. This paper reports an evaluation of a clinical imaging system that is integrated with an on-line electronic patient record. The evaluation used interviews and observations to identify what physicians thought were the benefits of this system. Reported benefits may be classified into patient care benefits, educational benefits, and productivity and cost-reduction benefits. Physicians said that the imaging system provided patient care benefits by: improving clinical communication and decision making, making care more patient-based, reducing the number of procedures and patient risks, and improving record keeping. Educational benefits they reported included: improving communication, providing broad “real” experience, and improving supervision. These benefits may be reflected in increased productivity and cost reduction by increasing time savings, reducing clerical work, improving morale, and reducing the costs of care. The approach described in this study was valuable in identifying potential benefits of a clinical information system. The findings point the way to realization of benefits for other systems, and, ultimately, for computer-based patient records.
