    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Health Information Technology
    • Digital Imaging in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) represent a key advancement in healthcare information technology, though their development and implementation have progressed slower than initially anticipated.
    • Evaluating PACS is complex due to highly localized settings and the absence of a standardized methodology, complicating the assessment of both tangible and intangible benefits.
    • Divergent opinions exist in scientific literature regarding the objectives, practical realizations, and achieved outcomes of PACS implementations.

    Discussion:

    • The implementation of PACS involves diverse approaches to image acquisition, processing, communication, and display, supported by various conferences and publications.
    • Significant differences in PACS approaches are observed, particularly in Europe, with a range of single- and multi-vendor solutions.
    • The review critically examines some of the most notable European PACS developments.

    Key Insights:

    • PACS implementation is more challenging and time-consuming than predicted.
    • Standardized evaluation methodologies are lacking, hindering comparative analysis of PACS.
    • Diverse technological and vendor approaches complicate universal PACS adoption and assessment.

    Outlook:

    • Continued development and refinement of PACS are expected.
    • Standardization efforts may improve future evaluations and comparisons.
    • Further research into the long-term impact and optimization of PACS in diverse clinical settings is warranted.
