A hundred years ago, the average  person hadn't heard of an x-ray, much less had one done to diagnose an injury.  Today, x-rays, CAT scans and MRIs are used every day to help healthcare  providers diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries. 
							   Today, the traditional  plastic film x-ray has given way to images being stored on Picture Archiving  Computer Systems (PACS).  Like your own  digital camera, PACS store digital image files on a computer. As any digital  camera owner knows, storing images on a computer is convenient  ?it doesn't  require as much space as printed images, and the images are easier to classify  and share.  Having an ability to share  images among health care providers which involves moving these images to where  they are needed is a critical function for care coordination and delivery. 
							   Healthcare Information  Technology is progressing just as rapidly  ?if not more rapidly  ?than  imaging technology. Our nation is moving toward digital health information  technology that will make it possible for doctors across the country to consult  in real-time on difficult or unusual cases.
