| pubmed-article:11378218 | pubmed:abstractText | We present a filmless pediatric radiology department for the Stockholm area (1.8 million inhabitants) producing 50000 examinations per year. Seventy percent of the examinations are non scheduled, 50% are emergency cases out of office hours. The system is designed for high reliability operating with 99.7% uptime. A large number of daily conferences are held throughout the Children's Hospital at the various specialized departments, distributed through the intranet, with one pediatric radiologist attending. Instant reading is made in the majority of examinations and reports are available with images throughout the hospital including PC's at doctors rooms. The system uses conventional hardware and software with an open systems standard based approach. The system is highly appreciated by clinicians and has improved availability of radiology information. | lld:pubmed |
