| PACSnet National Evaluation Team
PACSnet was established in the summer of 2001 as part of the independent evaluation programme supported by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), an Executive Agency of the Department of Health. The team is based in the Medical Physics Department of St George's Hospital in London. PACSnet provides independent technical evaluation of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and the components of such systems. Information provided by PACSnet is intended to assist purchasers of PACS with their purchasing decisions, implementation and efficient use of their PACS. Following an arms length review by the department of health it was decided that the evaluation service should come under the adminstration of the NHS Purchasing and supplies agency, PASA. and from 1st September 2005 PACSnet is now one of the evaluation centres in the newly re-named Centre for Evidence-based Purchasing. | | | |

| SIIM Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine
The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) was formerly the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR). SIIM is devoted to advance computer applications and information technology in medical imaging through education and research. A fundamental role of SCAR is to bridge the gap between engineers and scientists who develop the systems and radiologists and technologists who use them. SCAR provides an open environment for imaging information professionals to access expert and cutting edge resources in a collegial and practical atmosphere. Membership in SCAR is open to anyone with an interest in this vital and growing field. | | | |
