Digital medical imaging has progressed immensely in recent years, providing the opportunity to store images in a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) and eliminating the need for film storage. Images can be viewed simultaneously in many monitors during or after the radiological technique, enabling more accurate and efficient treatment of the patient. The result is acceleration of…
