The research PACS is intended to provide the University's biomedical research community with a centralized system for searching, storing, organizing and sharing all types of research imaging data (human, animal and cellular) as well as all of the associated descriptive data (reports, analysis results, keywords). Stay tuned for updates regarding this exciting new system!The principal investigator of the research PACS SIG is Samuel G. Armato (grant number 1 S10 RR027969-01A1).
