The aim of this study was to generate quantitative data regarding technical and analytical time savings obtained by use of an ultrasonographic PACS. Data/time cards were recorded for each patient encountered in an outpatient diagnostic ultrasound facility for a 4 week period immediately before and a 1 year period after installation of a PACS environment. Use of a sonographic PACS resulted in a per case time savings of 293 s in the technical component and 51 to 63 s in the analytical component of an average ultrasonographic examination. We conclude that use of a PACS workstation has the potential to increase productivity for both the sonographer and the radiologist.
