PACS

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) have replaced conventional radiographic films as the digital image-viewing hub over the past two decades and now serve as the primary communication bridge between radiologists, radiologic technologists and referring providers. PACS enables all authorized clinicians to access medical images and reports quickly, easily and from virtually any location. Some health systems have integrated PACS into the electronic medical record (EMR). Others have moved to enterprise image systems to replace radiology PACS and allow all departments to now store images and reports in one location for easier health system-wide access.

Apple Vision Pro app brings augmented reality to radiology

The new “spatial computing” headset, which effectively allows users to augment reality with a heads-up display, now has an imaging app.

Kyle Souligne, director, enterprise imaging radiology, Agfa Healthcare, discusses technologies like workflow orchestration, AI and cloud that can be used to optimize radiologist’s processes and create efficiency, so they work smarter, not harder. These technologies are playing an increasing role to address the shortage of radiologists.
