Number of studies per year 10,000 12,000 14,000

PACS cost/year @ $6/procedure $ 60,000 $ 72,000 $ 84,000

Existing film-based system cost/year@ $10/procedure $100,000 $120,000 $140,000

Yearly cost savings from PACS system $ 40,000 $ 48,000 $ 56,000

Conclusion: New PACS system will pay for itself in one year or less, based on increased operating efficiency.
