The authors have been operating an ultrasound miniPACS for approximately two years. In the last six months, the system was more than doubled in size with inclusion of a teleradiology component and connection to PACS hardware from other vendors. This paper presents the engineering, operational, and clinical challenges posed by this integration and the logistical and systems approaches to meeting those challenges.
