The directions of implementations of Imaging Systems in health service (DIP - Document imaging Processing and EDMS - Electronic Data Management System) and their specifics are pointed out. The detailed descriptions of the systems for automatic processing of records (x-rays photographs, CT, ECS, MRI) their input, preserving and protection has been given for use in health serice. Potential problems and possibilities of connection into existent information system are discussed. Purpose of this article is to inform medical staff about up to date technology and its advantages.
