Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a necessary technology in modern hospitals and has proven its important status in the radiology department for fetching and archiving medical images followed by their integration with the radiology information system (RIS). Medical imaging system technology has seen substantial growth over the past several decades with more healthcare organizations integrating imaging capitalize on digital technologies to address a changing healthcare environment. PACS use Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) to transmit and store images. DICOM is both a file format for storing and a protocol for transmitting images. Medical imaging devices communicate with the application server through the DICOM protocol.
The increasing adoption of health information technology (health IT) and the expanding use of diagnostic imaging is boosting the PACS technologies market growth. Moreover, government initiatives to encourage the adoption of health IT due to its benefits is also driving the PACS market size. Hospitals are also affiliating with each other, medical imaging centers, clinics and other facilities to share patient's medical images and information. However, alike other healthcare IT systems, PACS is also dependent on regulatory and technological standards, which can alter and force health care providers to upgrade the system. For instance, in 2017, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc., a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and medical informatics products, launched version 5 of Synapse PACS in the U.S. The latest design offers server-based image execution and a zero-download viewer with browser flexibility, leading to significant IT benefits for many organizations. Furthermore, though PACS processes have majorly adopted in healthcare, a newer medical imaging technology, the vendor neutral archive (VNA), has replaced PACS in some healthcare settings.
