Abstract :
A picture archiving and communication system (PACS) can provide support to non-clinical departments in a large medical center such as medical media or photographic services. The two PACS at the Baltimore VA Medical Center are utilized by the medical media department to facilitate acquisition and archival of a wide spectrum of hospital images. The decreased dependence upon the medical media department for slides due to the projection television workstations in the auditorium and the ability to capture images directly from the PACS has resulted in significant increases in efficiency, productivity and quality in the medical media department
