Changes in Tip-Apex Distance by Position and Film Distance Measured by Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)

Changes in Tip-Apex Distance by Position and Film Distance Measured by Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)

PURPOSE The tip-apex distance (TAD) is used to predict the clinical outcome of intertrochanteric fracture fixation. We aimed to measure the changes in TAD by position and film distance using Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We used a femur replica with a 10° femoral neck anteversion and a 130° neck shaft angle. Proximal femoral nail antirotation nail an...

Heuristic Evaluation of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)

Introduction: Poor User Interface design can be one of the probable reasons of users’ error and reduced incentive in using health information systems such as PACS. Heuristic evaluation is one the methods for assuring the proper user interface design of health information systems such as PACS. Method: This study was a descriptive-analytic research conducted in 2019 through using Nielsen usabilit...

PACS - Picture Archiving and Communication System

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) underwent a rapid development for the past 15 years, influenced by new technologies, faster network connections and other technical improvements. PACS handles different tasks, aimed to replace former film based medical images and the according workflows in hospitals and medical practices. In a PACS, images are acquired from medical imaging moda...
