Concept
PACS is a medical imaging technology used primarily in healthcare organizations to securely store and digitally transmit electronic images and clinically relevant reports. It eliminates the need for manual storage and retrieval of medical images, thereby streamlining workflows and improving access to patient data for healthcare professionals.
DICOM is a standard protocol for the management and transmission of medical images and related data, ensuring interoperability between different imaging devices and systems. It facilitates the integration of imaging devices like scanners, servers, workstations, and network hardware from multiple manufacturers into a single cohesive workflow in healthcare environments.
