My passion has always been CT which has helped me tremendously with the application side of the PACS and advanced CT packages and giving training to all medical staff.
With a keen interest in IT and much interest in the PACS, put together at Tygerberg hospital by DR Otto Schulze, I became the interim PACS administrator in 2008 where I was involved with the PACS/RIS project.
