PACS

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) have replaced conventional radiographic films as the digital image-viewing hub over the past two decades and now serve as the primary communication bridge between radiologists, radiologic technologists and referring providers. PACS enables all authorized clinicians to access medical images and reports quickly, easily and from virtually any location. Some health systems have integrated PACS into the electronic medical record (EMR). Others have moved to enterprise image systems to replace radiology PACS and allow all departments to now store images and reports in one location for easier health system-wide access.

How Konica Minolta’s next generation, cloud-based enterprise imaging is powering one practice’s growth
Finding the right enterprise imaging system is critical for radiology practices and hospitals that need to expand and scale their image management and reading capacity. For Houston Northwest Radiology Association, a large increase in the volume of images they manage for clients means it’s time to commit to a next-gen EI system.
Why PACS should be part of undergrads' medical education
Many traditional radiology courses leave out hands-on opportunities for students—something that could greatly benefit their understanding of the specialty.
SCCT aims to provide common language for CCTA use with updated guidance
The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography has developed a new expert consensus document designed to get physicians on the same page when discussing this growing technology.
Key trends in enterprise imaging
Radiology is going though a period of disruption with a growing radiologist shortage, decreasing reimbursements and increasing numbers of exams, making workflow efficiency a critical concern.
Cloud-based platforms could expand teleradiology access to tens of thousands of patients in need
Dedicated teleradiology services could expand quality healthcare in regions where access and staffing shortages hinder patient care the most.
