Method and apparatus for performing economic analysis of a radiological image archiving system

A computer program, wherein the computer program is stored in a tangible medium, wherein the computer program is adapted to enable an electronic information system to establish a customer's expected cost reductions over a period of time resulting from usage of a supplier's radiological image archiving system.

An electronic information system, comprising:

• a query page stored in the electronic information system, wherein the electronic information system provides the query page to the customer via an electronic communication system, wherein the query page comprises at least one question designed, when completed by the customer, to enable the information system to establish an amount of radiological imaging film consumed by a customer over a specified period of time;
• and
• an application stored in the electronic information system, wherein the application establishes an expected reduction in radiological imaging film consumption due to use of a radiological image archiving system provided by a supplier of radiological image archiving systems.

An electronic information system, comprising:

• a query page stored in the electronic information system, wherein the electronic information system provides the query page to the customer via an electronic communication system, wherein the query page comprises at least one question designed, when completed by the customer, to enable the information system to establish an amount of storage capacity in a digital radiological image archiving system corresponding to an amount of radiological images produced by a customer over a specified time period.
