A number of computerized schemes being developed for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) in our laboratory are reviewed. In distinguishing between normal and abnormal lungs with interstitial infiltrates in chest images, the computerized classification method provided the ROC curve that is comparable to or superior to that obtained by an average radiologist. Our computerized detection schemes indicated truepositive detection rate of approximately 70% for subtle lung nodules in chest radiographs and 90% for subtle clustered microcalcifications in mammograms, although several false positives were detected in each image. The automatically computed outlines of the heart shadows in chest radiographs were very similar to the contours traced by radiologists, and were used to obtain parameters related to the size and area of the projected heart. By using an iterative deconvolution technique, opacified vessels larger than 0.5 mm in DSA images were measured with an accuracy of approximately 0.1mm. The vascular structures in angiograms were tracked accurately and automatically by using a double-square-box region-of-search method.

PACS is a system designed mainly for an intra -hospital digital image management. In addition, with the evolution of PACS, Local Area Medical Information Control System (LAMICS) will be required in pursuit of an improved efficiency of the diagnosis through an image transmission. Also Personal Health Data Recording System (PHDRS). which will be given an off-line connection of the above -mentioned systems is now under evaluation. A global integration of these systems will represent "Imaq and Communication System in Patient Care", which is exactly, I think, the theme of this international conference. We are designing, for further study, a Hybrid PACS which is a combined database of Analogue information and Digital information and which will support an organic operation of the IMAC system.

There are at least twenty one partial PACS installations in Europe, of which the majority are commercial installations. During 1989 many of these systems will be used for the first time to assess various aspects of the clinical efficacy of PACS. The principal groups working or about to be working in the PACS area are indicated and their activities are summarised.

In Japan, where several basic PACS technologies originated, PACS-related system are being implemented in both large and small networks. This is because the basic PACS technology has seemed to have reached a stage of practicality. There are only few radiologists in our country who believe that the progress of each key technology of PACS is directly tied in with a "so-called" filmless age of radiology in the future. In this article, Japanese organizational activites, major network activities, special applications, MIPS Standard-87, economic and operational issues are reviewed. PACS can be operational in institutions with a flexibility and a vision where necessary compromises are alowed.

The need for integrating a Picture Archival and Communications System (PACS) with existing infamation systems and digital imaging systems has grown with the radiology department's expanding operational use of PACS. The advantages of integrating the systems in a radiology department are clear, and have been documented befor. This paper focus on the technical issues and challenges faced when integrated a PACS in a radiology department. Technical issues and the implemented solutions based on real development experiences are presented.

Dangers in evaluation are of two types: failures of perception and failures in timing. Avoidance of failures of perception requires care on design of the evaluative experiment to assure internal validity of inference without loss of generalizability. It also requires careful definition of objectives of the innovation and expression of objectives in a comprehensive set of measures of effectiveness and cost, plus an awareness of and accounting for human factors involved. Avoidance of failures in timing require the integration of evaluation into the stages of research, development and diffusion.
