Case: Vendors
A mid-sized hospital has recently acquired a new multi-slice CT scanner from a leading vendor. The imaging informatics professional (IIP) is tasked with ensuring that the new equipment integrates seamlessly with the existing PACS. The IIP must also coordinate training sessions for radiologists and technologists to familiarize them with the new system. During the integration process, the IIP encounters a compatibility issue between the new CT scanner and the existing PACS software, which could potentially delay patient care.

What should the IIP do first to address the compatibility issue between the new CT scanner and the existing PACS?
