PACS: Diminishing the Distance and Enabling the Real-Time Services in Teleradiology

Cloudex Radiology

Many radiologists have been supporting the clinicians irrespective of their location and time through teleradiology and delivering quality patient care without delay. Basically, PACS is an electronic version of the file room and reading room for radiologists. But this remote working is not a new concept in Radiology.
