Summary: The one book on PACs that deserves to be on everyone's shelf
Comment: This book is a MUST read for anyone involved in PACs. It has something for everyone, from a PACs administrator to an engineer configuring systems. Dr. Huang covers a wide range of material, including the basics of projectional x-ray, how different modalities work, to PACs and all of PACs elements. The book's emphasis is on the basics and principles, however. Don't look for specific companies or technology. I was also surprised that Cardiology and Clinical Imaging Systems were omitted. That said, I have not found a more complete book on the subject of PACs. The text is easy to read and the concepts clearly explained. If you need to ramp your knowledge up quickly on PACs or need a reference to use the investment in this book is WELL worth it.

Summary: Great intro for engineers (or anyone else) new to imaging
Comment: I am a software engineer who has worked for many years in various areas of computer connectivity. I recently accepted a position with a provider of DICOM (Digital Imaging And Communication In Medicine) software packages.

I needed to get up to speed fast on the overall architecture of imaging systems and PACS. I needed a birds-eye view of the various image acquisition devices and the information management systems linking them. This book provided everything I needed. Worth the money!

Summary: Great one volume coverage on PACS
Comment: One of the few available books on PACS. Highly recommended for people who want to study PACS based on one book, instead of going all out to read lots of academic papers. Cover all major concepts. Sort of expensive, though.
