Touro has updated its Radiology department with a Picture Archive Communication System (PACS). PACS replaces hardcopy based means of managing medical images by converting radiography images to a digital format (termed computed radiography, or CR). The software allows practitioners at various physical locations to access the same information simultaneously, improving our workflows in Radiology to better meet the needs of the hospital and referring community. To request access to PACS or formore information,contact Eric Silbernagel, PACS Administrator, at (504) 897-8380, or at
eric.silbernagel@touro.com.
