Hi, I'm Torrell Pauley
Your Friendly Neighborhood PACS Professional
I've been in the Healthcare IT space since 2005. This is when I first learned about PACS and DICOM from my manager at the imaging center I worked at.
In addition, the imaging center is where I also first learned about radiology workflow, RIS/PACS integration, modality integration, and all the responsibilities of a PACS Administrator.
Now I help support PACS Administrators in imaging centers and hospitals all over the United States.
I want to help you learn about PACS, get into Healthcare IT, and start your first PACS job.
That's why I created PACS and DICOM Essentials, to help people like you get into PACS by sharing my knowledge and experience.
PACS and DICOM Essentials helps you get the experience you need to show your future hiring managers that you are the right person for the PACS job.
