  • Abstract
    The following questions are discussed in relation to the different phases of the radiological imaging process. (1) What is the impact of the picture archiving communication system (PACS) on the reading of radiological examinations? (2) After years of centralization, will radiology again decentralize due to the possibilities of PACS? (3) Who is responsible for the radiological information? (4) What has to be done by radiologists to keep control of radiology? It is argued that radiologists must actively participate in defining future requirements
