Thank you so much BeekAE, this is a great video!, im electronic engineer and healtcare communications systems specialist and teacher here in peru, im working in a ppt about pacs systems for my students on university, i have 1 question for u, why dont you mention that the computer where the radiologist works his reports is a workstation with a medical grade monitor?, considering that a medical grade monitor costs $20K vs a PC monitor that costs $500

You need to tell us what DICOM format is ? Also no one prints images anymore, that’s what we have computers, Laptops and tablets for . No need for the music in this video moved way too slow and had information in it we didn’t need . Our patient identifiers always kept with the images? The medical mistakes are not made?

[hossskul]

The Distracting music is not necessary.
