Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)

A Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a digital system used in healthcare to store, retrieve, and share medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. Instead of using traditional film, PACS allows healthcare providers to access images electronically, improving efficiency and patient care. It ensures that images are easily available to doctors for diagnosis and treatment, while also maintaining patient confidentiality and safety. PACS can be integrated with other medical systems, facilitating a streamlined workflow in hospitals and clinics.
