Performance of the Mayo-IBM PAC system

The Mayo Clinic and IBM (at Rochester, Minnesota) have jointly developed a picture archived system for use with Mayo's MRI and CT imaging modalities. This PACS is made up of over 50 computers that work cooperatively to provide archival, retrieval and image distribution services for Mayo's Department of Radiology. This paper will examine the performance characteristics of the system.© (1994) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
