Where this comes from

Abstract

We describe an effective, resource-free method for facilitating the comparison of film-based and PACS-based radiographic studies. Side-by-side comparison of film-based and PACS-based radiographic studies is often inconvenient because of the absence of an ergonomically satisfactory viewbox near the workstation. With a simple maneuver, any PACS display monitor can be used as a rudimentary viewbox, providing a convenient and ergonomically effective alternative.
