Diagnostic value model for the evaluation of PACS: physician ratings of the importance of prompt image access and the utilization of a display station in an intensive care unit

摘要

Abstract: Physician ratings of the importance of rapidly viewing images were compared with the frequency of using a 512 $MUL 512 $MUL 8 display station instead of film for the first viewing of chest images made in a medical intensive care unit. The overall utilization of the display station was 35%. Although there was a statistically significant correlation between utilization and the importance rating, it accounted for only a small part of the difference in the utilization of the display station and film.!
