Abstract

Recent developments of radiological picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) in Estonia are under discussion. Creation of a country-wide picture archive was accomplished in 2006 by two major hospitals. In 2007  approximately 82 per cent of radiological studies in Estonia are stored in national PACS. Ninety-five per cent of family doctors have access to the images of their patients. PACS has created a possibility to join the European teleradiology network and to export services.
