This paper discusses our implementation plan for a digital image processing and viewing network in a large radiology department. We have selected a broadband coaxial cable network as the transport medium with a partial decentralization of computing facilities. We will also be implementing the system in the department in a series of phases designed to provide a smooth transition from present methods to network utilizing ones. Our reasons for choice of transport medium and a rationale for the phases and their selection will be covered. Potential problems and contingency plans will also be discussed.
