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.

Smaller health systems are increasingly moving into this realm. Tim Kearns, director of marketing and healthcare IT, Konica Minolta Imaging USA, explains the implications.
AI can help radiology standardize image exam data labeling
To fully leverage today's radiology IT systems, standardization is a necessity. Steve Rankin, chief strategy officer for Enlitic, explains how artificial intelligence can help.
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.
