Upgraded PACS system to the IDS7 (Sectra 7) platform was completed in Spring 2011. Flat-screen, color, high-definition monitors were supplied to the majority of the workstations throughout the department.

There is also an entirely renovated and expanded Women's Imaging Center in the newly opened Mural Pavilion which contains several new ultrasound units and new bone densitometry unit.
