Abstract
A picture archiving and communication (PAC) system (CommView by AT&T and Philips) has recently been installed in the Radiology Department of the University of Trieste, Italy, and is currently under experimental evaluation. The current status of the system and the planned developments are reported. A major project at present is the evaluation of the impact of the PAC system on the radiology system on a functional basis, by applying in the medical field a modelling methodology developed to analyse manufacturing systems. Other research in progress is devoted to technical, clinical and ergonomic aspects, on the basis of a comprehensive assessment project.
