People were very concerned about PACS because they said the digital equivalent of an 11x14 xray would require 20 megabytes! How could anyone store that much data?? Interestingly, as digital diagnostic imaging came into being, they kept the same chest-sized 11x14 films and exposed 12 frames onto the film. Our most successful product was thus called the MI-12. On the counterpoint, doctors were telling us that hospital filing systems for physical xrays and digital imaging was so chaotic that they would keep the xrays under the patient's mattresses during their stays. -rei On Oct25 13:16, Charlie Chan wrote: > Steve, > > Another lovely study.
