In medical imaging, picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are computers or networks dedicated to the storage, retrieval, distribution and presentation of images. The medical images are stored in an independent format. The most common format for image storage is DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine).
PACS provides the functionality necessary to transition to a less-film digital imaging operation. Access to images is simplified and archival/retrival is completely automated.
Web-enabled image servers allow users to access images easily with virtually any standard PC connected to the intranet/internet. Scaleable local and on-line image storage eliminates additional media archiving and remote imaging locations are often linked to PACS via teleradiology.
