Abstract
Digital radiology, or digital evolution in radiology, is more than a mere part of an integrated health care enterprise, it is more than only a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), or a HIS (Hospital Information System), or a RIS (Radiology Information System) or archiving or monitor reporting or digital radiography, digital modalities such as computed tomography, magnet resonance tomography, digital subtraction angiography, ultrasound, digital fluoroscopy or digital flat panel detectors.
