PACS Software

PACS Software:

PACS Software or Picture Archiving and Communication Software is a software that is used by medical practitioners to store and distribute medical images within and between medial practices.
PACS software eliminates the need to manually file, retrieve, or transport film jackets as electronic images and reports are transmitted digitally through this software.
Generally, a PACS software consists of four major components. This include:

• The imaging modalities such as X-ray plain film (PF), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• A secured network which can transmit patient information
• Workstations for interpreting and reviewing images
• Archives for storage and retrieval of the images and reports.

Features and Benefits of PACS Software:

The PACS Software has several features that can benefit the user in many ways to grow their business. Some of these include:

• The software has the ability to deliver timely and efficient access to images, interpretations, and related data.
• The physical and time barriers associated with traditional film-based image retrieval, distribution, and display can be reduced.
• The hard copy based means of managing medical images, such as film archives can be replaced by the software
• A growing cost and space advantage over film archives can be provided in addition to the instant access to prior images at the same institution with the decreasing price of digital storage.
• The possibilities of conventional systems can be expanded by providing capabilities of off-site viewing and reporting on distance education and telediagnosis. The practitioners in different physical locations can access the same information simultaneously for teleradiology.
• The electronic platform for radiology images can be provided that can interface with other medical automation systems such as Hospital Information System (HIS), Practice Management Software, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Radiology Information System (RIS).
• It is used by radiology personnel to manage the workflow of patient exams.
• The software is user friendly, well structured and highly usable as the user interface can be customized according to the requirement of your medical speciality
• Various diagnostic reports can be prepared in parallel and numerous program windows can be opened simultaneously without loss of speed.
• The software can be easily integrated with existing HIS or RIS.
• Storage of all images and documents can be done according to international DICOM standards.
• It can help you take control of your lab operations and manage it better with insights & analytics.
• Seamless patient experience can be offered from booking home collections to receiving reports and making payments through the app, SMS and WhatsApp.
• Patients are allowed to make payments from the app and check reports when they are ready with integrated online payment system.
• Your patients can be provided with an option to submit feedback right on the app.
• Various medical reports such as, operative and ultrasound reports can be genertaed and MS Word macros can be incorporated with integrated images, optional digital dictation system with speech recognition.
• It can assists in the analysis of the entire database allowing user-defined parametres and custom statistical analyses with statistics module.
• Standard and non-standard video signals can be recorded as single images and video sequences in video module..
• Cross sectional images can be evaluated and the placement of images and cases on the monitor can be freely configured.
• Users are allowed to access images in DICOM quality through an internet browser on any PC including tablets and Ultrabooks with the help of a concurrent license model.
• Various digital dictation and speech recognition systems can be integrated to facilitate generating medical reports
• Multiple archives can be hosted on distributed hardware platforms for the requirements of different groups of clinics and medical centres.
• Images and reports can be shared directly or transferred through cloud solution.
