Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Radiology
  • Health Information Systems

Background:

  • The global implementation of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) is examined, with examples from the USA (MDIS), Europe (EurIPACS), and Japan (Osaka University).
  • The study addresses the current status and future prospects of overcoming technical challenges in PACS realization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the concept and global realization status of PACS.
  • To discuss the extent to which technical problems in PACS implementation have been resolved and are expected to be resolved.
  • To explore the integration of PACS with Radiological Information Systems (RIS) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and its impact on diagnostic efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Presentation of global PACS implementation examples (USA, Europe, Japan).
  • Discussion of technological difficulties, exemplified by rapid inter-institutional image file exchange.
  • Inclusion of quantitative pre-post PACS/RIS/HIS measurement for technology assessment.

Main Results:

  • Technical challenges, such as rapid image file exchange, remain significant hurdles in PACS realization.
  • The integration of PACS with RIS and HIS is a key aspect of improving diagnostic efficacy in hospitals.
  • Technology assessment of PACS is identified as a critical area for future study.

Conclusions:

  • While PACS implementation is progressing globally, technical obstacles require ongoing attention and innovation.
  • Effective integration of PACS, RIS, and HIS is essential for enhancing diagnostic capabilities and hospital efficiency.
  • Further technology assessment and research are vital for the continued development and optimization of PACS.
