A PACS Admin’s Life

One man takes on the world of PACS, RIS, dicom, and all that is digital imaging.

Disaster Planning… how much is enough? Part 3

We are fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on the day!) to have a RIS developed in house. This affords us some great flexibility, but it can also cause much stress. Without a vendor to fall back on, the buck stops with us when something goes south. Happily, that doesn’t happen often ...

PACS Is Finally Here!

Time goes quickly when you are busy deploying a PACS and building a RIS! Much has been achieved, and much more is still in progress. Intelerad had two people onsite for our first rollout, this one at our main clinic. The PACS side of things went pretty smoothly. Our only real issue ...
