Diagnostic Imaging Information Services (DI/IS)
A Diagnostic Imaging Information Services Division was established within the last five years as our department moved from a film to a filmless environment. It is responsible for maintaining and enhancing all the major computer applications within Diagnostic Imaging. These applications include the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), the departmental Radiology Information System (RIS) and all associated hardware and software.
