Introduction to PACS
With advances in medical imaging emphasizing digitization, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) offer medical practices economical storage, rapid retrieval and simultaneous access to digital images acquired with multiple modalities. Typically comprised of an image acquisition device, data management system, image storage devices, local or wide area network, display stations, and devices to produce hard-copy images, PACS solutions increase operational efficiency while maintaining or improving diagnostic ability.
