Image display on electronic medical record (EMR) workstations is an im
portant step in widespread implementation of picture archiving and com
munications systems (PACS). We describe a pilot project for implementi
ng image display capability that is integrated with the EMR software,
and will allow display of images on the physician's workstation. We be
lieve this pilot will provide valuable information about usage pattern
s in image display needs. which will be valuable in planning further e
xpansion of PACS in our institution. Copyright (C) 1997 by W.B. Saunde
