Despite their potential for improving patient management and decreasing costs, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are not being absorbed rapidly into clinical practice because of their technical immaturity and because the cost-effectiveness of the technology has not been established. Workstations and archives need to be significantly improved before they can be useful. This report describes the authors' experiences with a high-resolution image workstation for a medical intensive care unit. The workstation has been designed around a standard computer platform and is equipped with two high-resolution image displays. The user interface stresses speed and simplicity. Image manipulation is simplified by providing empirical preset window and level values. Images are displayed in less than 2 seconds. The workstation also displays radiologic reports as soon as they become available. Future work will focus on using the workstation to improve communication between the physician and the radiologist.
