Almost three years after the first edition Walter Hruby presents this second edition. The book has not only been brought up-to-date, it also has been thoroughly revised and new aspects have been incorporated that focus on the synergy that results from the integration of digital systems used in radiology such as:

  • image fusion

  • “functional” imaging

  • electronic patient records and health networks

  • medical chip cards

  • and much more

It is intended for radiologists and all other physicians, information managers, technicians, scientists, IT-experts, health care providers, decision-makers, hospitals, clinics and health maintenance organizations. The IT-market now has changed to such an extent that the Integrated Health Care Enterprise is becoming reality. This second edition of Digital (R)evolution in Radiology provides solid guidance for everyone working in this field. Special features include:

  • Planning a digital radiology department

  • Hard- and software components, including teleradiology

  • Functional aspects of monitor reporting

  • Virtual reality 3D

  • Practical digital radiography guide

  • Quality assurance

  • Synergy effects

  • Navigation

  • Economical outcome

  • Virtual patient

According to a statement of Gordon Moore, the founder of Intel Corporation, computer performance doubles every 18 months. So it is not surprising that the “half-time” of modern computers is rapidly decreasing, meaning computer based radiology equipment ages very fast. Increasing demands of public health for radiology together with a never-ending rapid development of information technology and innovations result in a digital environment, where careful and thorough guidance is necessary. Contributed articles in this book span these topics:

  • Outlook

  • Basics of digital radiology.

  • Planning digital radiology: practical approaches

  • Applications using new digital technologies

  • Workflow

  • Practical applications of digital radiology

  • Current development and economic issues

The book Digital (R)evolution in Radiology, edited by Walter Hruby, MD, is such a solid guidance for radiologists and other medical staff working in this field. As Jack I. Eisenman, MD, puts it in his review of this book, “The editor and the authors are authorities who have contributed to adapting, in a user-friendly manner, the digital (r)evolution to the needs of people who operate medical information systems.”
