Abstract: System for managing radiographic images includes a capture device, a file server, a database server, a user workstation, and a data storage device with removable media. Digital images are captured by the capture device, automatically stored on the file server, maintained as the original image and archived to the data storage device. The workstation copies and displays digital images. The database server includes image records and patient records. The image records include all user manipulations of the digital image as commands, and recalled digital images are displayed as last viewed.
