[Histonet] storing digital images

[kgibbon <@t> qltinc.com]

Hi All,
This is a question aimed at those who store digital images in their patient
records.

Is their a standard set by the ASCP or any other institution that gives
recommendations on the format for storing digital images in patient
records??
Do the images have to survive in the same way that the patient record has
to be kept?

I am looking to a standard that can be used to archive images for a long
period of time so any advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks
