Advancements in medical world
PACS stands for Picture archiving and communication system. It is an electronic network that connects MRI, CT, Ultrasound to computers so that it displays images to all physicians. Most common format for storing images is DICOM. These are advanced medical imaging facilities which enhance health care. So any image can be taken in a AMI (advance medical imaging) facility and the images can be read, viewed, by other physicians or radiologists sitting in a different part of the world. PACS imaging provides doctors with special diagnostic tools from which he can make his evaluations.
The patient does not need to carry the scans anywhere and he can get good diagnosis quickly.
Web based orthopedic PACS offer advanced features for orthopedic applications and to aid orthopedic surgeons. It has planning module, tools for distance and angle measurements, spine labeling. Radiology reading rooms should be re designed to suit the latest needs. With such technological advances that are being made in the medical field, consideration has to be given to the radiologists who will be using PACS imaging. The new radiology reading rooms should have PACS workstations and they should longer have x ray machines there. Ergonomic seating, good lighting are very crucial and can enhance their performance.
