SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Our images are required to be saved in our Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) and currently a large portion of our mammography images are stored in our Hologic System. The reason that they remain there is because we need to have a conversion done. Currently the radiologist have to view these images at two different computers. This software conversion will allow the images to flow from Hologic to our PACS system and the radiologists will only have to view them on one computer.
