Abstract

The transition from Mammography based on films to Digital Mammography or FFDM (Full-field Digital Mammography) is not a simple task, involving solely the replacement of a few electronic components and the addition of new computers and software. This paper describes a process for integrating RIS (Radiology Information Systems), PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications Systems) and digital mammography equipments in order to help clinical engineers and IT professionals in planning, preparation and implementation of a FFDM environment in conformity with the data communication standards used in the medicine field.
