response: Oh really?  Those medical images get stored digitally, did you know that?  In a system called PACS.  Then members of the health care team can view them.
original_response: yea, thats what they think but its not so, Medical images are stored digitally in the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) where they can be viewed by all members of the healthcare team
history: I'm studying to be a Radiology tech currently. wow, really, Radiology is the science that uses medical imaging to diagnose and sometimes also treat diseases Yes it fascinates me that you can see so much with it. Oh I see.  I know that Diagnostic Radiologists are doctors who are specially trained.  They "read" and interpret the images, and make a report.  The report includes their findings or their diagnosis. Yes their job has to be pretty difficult to be able to see slight anomalies on an xray. Maybe!  They then transmit that report to the person who requested that imaging. A lot of people think xrays are harmful but you would need a ton of them to be affected.
knowledge: Medical images are stored digitally in the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) where they can be viewed by all members of the healthcare team within the same health system and compared later on with future imaging exams.
