What is PACS?
Picture Archival and Communication System Used in Radiology Dept. of Hospitals
Provides Workflow to store and retrieve Radiology Images
Radiology Images can be:
Digital Radioscopy (X Ray)
CT Scan
MRI Scan
PET (Positron Emission Tonography)
Endoscopy
Mammograms
Ultrasound
Doppler
Etc.
Uses DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)

Evolution of PACS
DICOM gained popularity before ~20 years
Film used due to: No standard
Vendors trying to play monopoly with their Imaging devices and PACS Software
PACS gained popularity from the year 2000
