The management of the vast amounts of medical images and information generated by today's clinical services is a growing problem. The solution to the problem will increasingly require the use of advanced technologies data storage, image display, communication, and human engineering. The progress of individual technologies has been rapid; however, system integration and user acceptance of digital image management technology have been slow . Critical evaluation of the efficacy of this use of technology is essential for the evolution of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) in radiology.
