PACS & Image Management Solution

PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) enables images such as x-rays and scans to be stored electronically and viewed on screens with improved diagnosis methods. Doctors and other health professionals can access and compare images at the touch of a button. PACS is primarily responsible for the inception of virtual radiology, as images can now be viewed from across town, or even from around the world. Additionally, by delivering more efficient imaging processes, PACS allows for a near filmless process, with all of the flexibility of a digital filing system, to store patients' images in an organized way which enables records to be retrieved with ease as needed for future reference.

For the past 100 years, film has been almost the exclusive medium for capturing, storing, and displaying radiographic images. Film is a fixed medium with usually only one set of images available. Most importantly, however, PACS has the potential to transform patients' experience of the care they receive across hospitals.

PACS supports clinicians in performing their roles and contributes to a more efficient and advanced twenty-first century health service.
