Future trends in Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
Summary
Radiologists desire integrated Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) with multi-hospital access and mobile capabilities. Key barriers to web-based PACS implementation include technical issues, training needs, and cost concerns.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging Informatics
- Health Information Systems
Background:
- Current Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) require enhancements to meet evolving clinical demands.
- Radiologist feedback is crucial for optimizing PACS functionality and integration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate radiologists' requirements for improving existing PACS.
- To identify essential features for future PACS development from a user perspective.
Main Methods:
- A questionnaire survey was administered to 120 radiologists across five governmental hospitals in Kuwait.
- Data analysis focused on identifying preferred PACS features and perceived implementation barriers.
Main Results:
- High demand for PACS integration with hospital information systems (100%) and multi-hospital access (99%).
- Strong preference for web-based PACS solutions (97%) and mobile applications (97%).
- Significant concerns identified regarding technical issues (91%), lack of training (85%), and cost (76%) for web PACS implementation.
Conclusions:
- Future PACS development should prioritize seamless integration, interoperability, and mobile accessibility.
- Addressing technical challenges, providing adequate training, and managing costs are critical for successful web-based PACS adoption.

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
