Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)

Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) are migrating from radiology reading rooms into cardiology, oncology, operating rooms (OR), emergency rooms (ER), physicians’ offices and across the healthcare enterprise. There are several new trends shaping the next generation of PACS technology, including:

3D Advanced Visualization

New PACS technology and applications, such as 3D advanced visualization, continue to enable better, faster diagnosis and treatment.

Richer Image Databases

Healthcare providers now rely on PACS not just to "call up" and view images, but to diagnose and assist in emergency room treatment, medical procedures and operations.

On-Demand Access to Accurate, Detailed Images

And prior exam data — at the point of care enables timely care, treatment consistency and improved patient safety.

Greater Storage Needs

As more clinicians across the enterprise rely on PACS more frequently, the distribution and storage of an exponentially growing volume of large image files can challenge your existing infrastructure.
