PACS has been regarded as a system which will bring a new era to image handling, radiology departments and its services to other departments of the hospital. However, many recently held international conferences indicate that a worldwide consensus on 'what is PACS, why is PACS needed and who is PACS for' has not been established. Although the actual PACS implementation will vary among the countries and according to each situation, a worldwide consensus of PACS should be possible. This would help those involved to speed up the implementation of PACS. It is suggested that this consensus needs to be developed by convergence of three points of view; the availability, maturity and cost of the technologies on which PACS is built, the user requirements for PACS and standardization in PACS. These themes were the topics of the 2nd Japan-Nordic PACS Symposium which was arranged in Tampere, Finland, June 9-11th 1991. A summary of the papers and discussions of the symposium is produced in this paper.
PACS被视为一个将给图像处理、放射科及其为医院其他科室提供的服务带来新时代的系统。然而，最近召开的许多国际会议表明，对于“什么是PACS、为何需要PACS以及PACS面向谁”尚未达成全球共识。尽管各国实际的PACS实施情况会因各自情形而有所不同，但达成PACS的全球共识应该是可行的。这将有助于相关人员加快PACS的实施。建议通过融合三个观点来达成这一共识：构建PACS所基于的技术的可用性、成熟度和成本；PACS的用户需求；以及PACS中的标准化。这些主题是1991年6月9日至11日在芬兰坦佩雷举办的第二届日本-北欧PACS研讨会的议题。本文给出了该研讨会论文及讨论的总结。
