PACS system is an image archiving and communication system.
It is a system applied in the imaging department of the hospital, and its main task is to save all kinds of medical images (including images generated by MRI, CT, ultrasound, various X-ray machines, various infrared meters, microscopes and other equipment) produced on a daily basis in a massive way through various interfaces (analog, DICOM, network) in a digital way.
Benefits of PACS system:
1, reduce material costs: the introduction of PACS system, images are stored digitally, saving a lot of media (paper, film, etc.).
2, reduce management costs: digital storage brings another benefit is not distorted, while occupying a small area, saving a lot of media management costs.
3, improve work efficiency: digitalization makes it possible to access images anywhere there is a network, greatly improving the efficiency of doctors. Improvement in the efficiency of the doctor means that the number of patients can be received every day to increase the efficiency of the hospital.
Expanded Information
PACS is different from other medical information systems such as HIS, LIS, the most important point is: massive data storage.
Rational design of PACS data storage structure is the key to successful construction of PACS. A large hospital has a large number of modernized large-scale medical imaging equipment, every day the amount of data generated by the image examination up to 4 GB or so (uncompressed raw data), the total amount of data for a year is about 1200 GB.
The Patient table is used for storing the patient's basic information, and the scope of application involves all the subsystems of SUPER PACS; the Study table is used for storing the patient's examination information, and the scope of application involves all the subsystems of SUPER PACS. The Patient table is used to store the patient's examination information, and the scope of application involves all the subsystems of SUPER PACS; the Series table is used for the generation of the image sequence table, and the scope of application involves the SUPERPACSR DICOM radiology system; and the Image table is used to store the system image records.
