State of the art digital technology that has revolutionised the way the NHS captures, records and uses patient x-ray and scans is now being used in every hospital trust in England, the Department of Health said today. Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) are replacing the old way of capturing x-rays and scans on film and paper enabling clinical images to be stored electronically and viewed on screen. 
Funded by the European Commission, DG Information Society and Media, eHealth ERA investigated and analysed eHealth priorities and deployment activities in European countries. The project developed a database of key national eHealth policy documents, a database of key national contact points for eHealth research and technology development, and it produced several extended reports about current eHealth issues.
