Technological Advancements in Diagnostic Imaging Modalities

Ophthalmic diagnostic technologies have witnessed rapid technological upgrades in recent years. Advanced imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography, fundus camera, and ultrasound biomicroscopy enable high-resolution visualization of internal ocular structures. These technologies generate high volume digital images and scans which need to be systematically archived, compared and evaluated by retinal specialists and ophthalmologists. Traditional film-based data storage is no longer sufficient to handle these digitally captured images effectively. PACS, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems solutions provide a digital platform to efficiently store, retrieve, share and analyze voluminous retina imaging data online. This streamlines clinical workflow and supports timely diagnosis. Continuous technological upgrades in ophthalmic imaging coupled with the need for digital image management will propel the uptake of PACS systems globally in the coming years. For instance, as per a PubMed article from May 2022, survey results revealed high performance of PACS systems in information display and reducing patient identification errors compared to paper-based methods. Ophthalmologists gave positive feedback, especially when integrated with EHR or cloud systems. Government initiatives like World Glaucoma Week, promoting awareness and early diagnosis, also contribute to market growth. Rising awareness of eye diseases like glaucoma increases ophthalmic consultations, boosting the integrated PACS system growth.
