1. Yes, we have a PACS administrator 2. IT 3. My background is IT, to me and also speaking with modality vendors, they like to work with someone with an IT background. Most of the PACS "administration" is IT related. As long as your IT person learns the Rad language they should have no problem. I see more of a problem teaching someone that has a clinical background Unix commands and fixing Oracle databases than teaching an IT person the Rad terms. 4. I am a full time employee, I work as the Clinical Systems Analyst and the PACS Administrator. 5. My suggestion would be to put an IT person in the position, have them spend a day or two with each modality tech (be it CT, MRI, US) so they can learn what the difference is between each modality and maybe pick up on some of the terms.
Good luck, if you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact me!
