Abstract
Digital techniques are well established in the world of cardiac imaging. The catheterization laboratory has become a compilation of independent digitized systems. There is a broad choice of alternatives for cinefilm, but a lot of questions remain unanswered. The last two years, some breakthroughs have been realized: the acceptance of DICOM and CD-R has opened new perspectives. Considering the different user requirements, however, it remains very difficult to actually find an ideal solution. Therefore, the best investments for the coming two to three years remains a hybrid solution: digital modalities for acquisition and reviewing, and 35 mm cinefilm for archiving and communication.Keywords
