Abstract

For a PACS to successfully replace film, accuracy and speed of diagnoses made with a PACS must equal or exceed those made with the traditional film system. Therefore, proper attention to human factors is critical in designing the means by which information is selected by and displayed to the user, in providing good image quality and response time, and in physically configuring the system for user comfort and rapid maintenance. This paper discusses human factors requirements for PACS in general, and some of the particular decisions made in planning the current CommView' system and the future evolution of the system.
