If you’ve been around the PACS industry for a while, you’ll undoubtedly remember DR Systems, a vendor that launched in the early years of PACS and carved out a niche as an independent firm for over two decades. The company can also provide customers with a full PACS replacement system. But market dynamics are changing.
Radiology practices can create a more welcoming environment for radiologists returning from parental leave who breastfeed, according to a paper published November 26 in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. They can also provide a PACS workstation in breastfeeding rooms so radiologists can interpret images while breastfeeding.
A PACS is one of the most critical assets within a healthcare organization, housing sensitive patient records, diagnostic images, and other Protected Health Information (PHI). By implementing best practices alongside native PACS security features, organizations can establish a robust, nearly impenetrable shield around patient data.
Radiologists play a crucial role in this dynamic by delivering accurate diagnostics that guide physicians toward the most effective treatments. Worklists optimize the display of studies from multiple institutions and systems, including third-party PACS. “We
It is being supplemented by newly launched SmartTechnology, software that seamlessly integrates AI-powered informatics with image acquisition and diagnostic interpretation. DeepHealth describes its new Diagnostic Suite as a PACS-like unified diagnostic workspace with an image management layer built for AI orchestration.
But taking the basic step of buying a good mouse and programming it to help use PACS is an approachable and very helpful first step. I think a reasonable approach early on would at least involve some kind of gaming or productivity mouse to store window-level settings and your favorite PACS tools. Others do not.
Many diagnostic radiologists became pure CT and MRI specialists. By locking doors, retreating to hard-to-find PACS stations, giving up clinical meetings, and not answering phones or emails, radiologists found they could get more cross-sectional done. So radiologists started dropping duties. Radiologists also stopped doing paperwork.
Enterprise imaging firm Sectra and Siemens Healthineers are collaborating on an effort to enable radiologists to better access and process Siemens Healthineers' Naeotom Alpha photon-counting CT (PCCT) images within Sectra's diagnostic application for radiology.

3D mammography and diagnostic ultrasound service provider Mammolink has begun using its fifth RamSoft mobile mammography bus. The vehicles use RamSoft’s PACS and Gateway routers to manage and transfer large radiological data sets from remote areas served by the buses to a central reading location.
The newest display, model 32HQ713D-B, is the company’s latest high-resolution 8MP diagnostic medical monitor. Specifically, the diagnostic display is indicated for use in displaying radiological review, analysis, and diagnosis by trained medical practitioners. Hu, LG Business Solutions USA’s head of medical monitors.
Exa is an enterprise imaging, PACS, RIS, and billing package that includes Konica features such as server-side rendering, Diagnostic Zero Footprint Viewer. It will be offered as a platform as a service (PaaS) through AWS, Konica said.
Because of this integration, in case of a PACS disruption, physicians can access studies directly through the MedDream DICOM Viewer, thus allowing for uninterrupted diagnostics, patient care and operational efficiency. “We This demonstrates our commitment to fast, secure, and reliable diagnostics and patient care.”
Philips will also use Amazon Bedrock as part of its efforts to develop generative AI applications to advance PACS image processing capabilities and simplify clinical workflows and voice recognition.

The device supports risk assessment of nodules based on the American College of Radiology's Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIRADS) and generates standardized reports for data integration through PACS, Piur said.
milla1cf Fri, 02/16/2024 - 10:02 February 16, 2024 — A new cloud-native PACS that features a unique AI-based reporting module has been launched by Synthesis Health Inc. The new PACS features a modular design that allows an end user to select only the modules they need either in an integrated system or as an overlay to their existing system.
With Synapse 7x, organizations within the DoD network – now including Naval Medical Center - San Diego - will be able to access the diagnosticPACS platform that extends across the enterprise, an evolution from a radiology-specific PACS platform.
of diagnostic radiologists are 55 or older, indicating a significant portion of the workforce is nearing retirement. Customizable Reporting and PACS Solutions: Our reporting module allows customization of reports to include the facility’s logo and adjust layouts to match existing reports. population aged 65 and older grew by 38.6%
The sudden, immediate, and complete shutdown of the radiology information system (RIS) and picture archiving and communications system (PACS) was profound and devastating in our tertiary referral center with a high volume and complex case mix,” wrote medical oncologist Dr. Rachel Keogh, and colleagues.
Thiel and colleagues performed an LCA in April 2023 of the diagnostic radiology practice of Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. Use of PACS made up 11% of departmental greenhouse gas emissions (0.48 Of these emissions, MRI was responsible for 48% (2.2 kt CO 2 e) and CT for 24% (1.1 kt CO 2 e). kt CO 2 e). kt CO 2 e).
The platform includes reporting, PACS, diagnostic viewing, universal worklists, and AI capabilities. It streamlines radiology workflows, safeguards against cyberthreats, and provides real-time monitoring, according to the firm. The company expects about 20 new practices to be added to the full Unify platform in 2025, Sirona said.
All this is possible because of PACS. PACS – Picture Archiving and Communication System; a system involved in acquiring the medical images, transmission, viewing, storage, and retrieval of same images. Basically, PACS is an electronic version of the file room and reading room for radiologists.
