This volume contains the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Evian, France, October 14-26, 1990. The purpose of this institute was to review the most recent technology available for PACS and some clinical results. The book is divided into four sections: PACS components and system integration, PACS and related research in various countries and manufacturing companies, clinical experience and research support, and participants' scientific communications.
