We import CD's only when requested by the doc, and then mark them Reference Only, which insures we are not saving these into our deep archive. We create a new order(in PACS) with the correct exam and date so they appear on the docs worklist as any other exam. I don't really have an issue with this as long as I have the support staff to perform the import. With archive space getting less expensive, I don't have a large issue with costs, and this does help the interpreting radiologist dictate a case with historical accuracy, therefore improved patient care, which after all is what we all are here for...
