The purpose of technology assessment of picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) is to establish the need for the technology, provide a measure of functionality and to establish the costs and benefits associated with the introduction of the system. Given concerns about the clinical acceptability of PACS, it is unlikely that radiologists will change from existing film based systems until a clear demonstration of costs and benefits has been performed. The major need at present is to quantify the benefits which may flow from the introduction of PACS system in a standard manner which can be accepted by all parties involved.
图像存档与通信系统（PACS）技术评估的目的是确定对该技术的需求，衡量其功能，并确定引入该系统所带来的成本和效益。鉴于对PACS临床可接受性的担忧，在成本和效益未得到明确证明之前，放射科医生不太可能从现有的基于胶片的系统转换过来。目前的主要需求是以所有相关方都能接受的标准方式量化引入PACS系统可能带来的效益。
