Increased co-operation with filmless radiology department-results and experience with four years of development work in Mjolby Health Care Center, Sweden

Since the end of 1994, the radiology department in Mjolby has been running their activity without using X-ray films. When the film developing machine at the department was discarded in April 1995, after six months of test-running of the new system, the film epoch was definitely abandoned. The practical experiences from working and handling with digital images are all good. The background to this change lays in a four years development work, which has been supported financially by the Ostergotland County Council, Swedish National Board for Industrial and Technical Development (NUTEK), and a regional foundation for development of new ways to organize and perform work (Arbetslivsfonden).
