  • 1.  Advice on moving images to PACS

    Posted 08-09-2022 16:43

    A radiology group wants to read imaging exams that are taken in a family medicine office, but the two practices are not on the same PACS.  What's the best way to transfer the images into the radiology group's PACS for interpretation and reporting?  I'm not an IT expert, so looking for ideas to help them move in the right direction.

     

    Thanks,

    John

    John,

     

    Your question is the very reason for the #ditchthedisc movement, which is an earnest attempt to find ways to facilitate electronic inter-facility images transfer.
