Abstract
In a newly erected trauma hospital the whole process of diagnostic imaging, image distribution within the hospital, and clinical radiological conferences is managed digitally and in a filmless manner. The system has two main parts: a radiological information system (RIS) and a picture archiving and communication system (PACS). Using helical computed tomography directly adjacent to the shock room, acute management of accident victims with multiple injuries has become highly efficient.
