Abstract

Radiology, and indeed all of medicine, is under attack for providing high cost, redundant, patient unfriendly health care. Although we live with and may be discouraged by the health care crisis, in crisis there is opportunity. The authors discuss the redesign of radiology practices, including topics such as: digital imaging, real time radiology, PACS, Internet and digital medical records
