PACS (picture archiving and communication system) is a medical imaging technology used primarily in healthcare organizations to securely store and digitally transmit electronic images and clinically-relevant reports. The use of PACS eliminates the need to manually file and store, retrieve, and send sensitive information, films, and reports. Instead, medical documentation and images can be securely housed in off-site servers and safely accessed essentially from anywhere in the world using PACS software, workstations, and mobile devices. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the worldwide format for PACS image storage and transfer. Once encased in DICOM, non-image data like scanned documents can be included by utilizing consumer industry-standard formats such as PDF (Portable Document Format). A PACS is made up of four major parts: imaging modalities like X-ray computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a secure network for transmitting patient information, workstations for interpreting and reviewing images, and archives for storing and retrieving images and reports. PACS, when combined with existing and new web technology, has the potential to provide rapid and efficient access to pictures, interpretations, and related data. PACS eliminates the physical and time constraints that were previously associated with traditional film-based image retrieval, dissemination, and presentation. A radiology information system (RIS) is a type of electronic health record (EHR) that is specifically built for use in radiology, allowing practitioners to store and alter data as well as distribute radiologists' reports. The RIS is a fundamental component of the HIS (hospital information system), sharing core activities like patient registration and order entry. The advantages of connecting these critical systems are obvious, as it provides richer patient information while also increasing consistency, accuracy, and availability of information.

Market Dynamics

Increasing inorganic activities such as agreements among market players is expected to drive the growth of the global PACS and RIS market in the near future. For instance, on 25^th January 2023, Manipal Hospitals, one of the India-based healthcare providers, has entered into an agreement with FUJIFILM India, a company in healthcare technology, focused on innovative digital technology for storing sensitive medical documents and images. Under the long-term agreement, Manipal Hospitals would be provided with a large-scale Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), powered by FUJIFILM India. The PACS eliminates the need for manually storing, retrieving and sending sensitive information, films, and reports.
