Radiology

The Radiology aspect of service provides for the reading of X-Rays and a new fully film-less system has been put in place.

PACS (Picture Archive Communication System)

The PACS (Picture Archive Communication System) is operational since June 2008 which includes a new Radiology Information System (RIS) and a Voice Recognition System (VR). These systems allow for a fully film-less environment and provide referring physicians with direct access to images and reports. Electronic Requesting/Ordering of x-ray commenced in the ED in November 2009 and will be extended to the rest of the hospital as soon as possible.

Enquiries regarding requests for the importation or exportation of radiology images, from outside the Cork University Hospital Group, should be made via telephone to the digitisation office on +353 (0)21 4920294.
