PACS Facts
PACS Defined
PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) are computers or networks dedicated to the storage, retrieval, distribution and presentation of images.

Modalities Covered By PACS
Full PACS handle images from multiple modalities, including ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, computed tomography and radiography (plain X-rays). A full list of the modalities served by QSR PACS systems is available here.

   Uses
PACS replaces hard-copy medical images such as film. It also allows for the elimination of film storage, by providing a digital archive of patient exams and other data. PACS is also superior to conventional systems because it allows off-site viewing of images and reporting. Physicians in different locations can review the same information simultaneously. This practice is often referred to as teleradiology.
