Since the introduction of Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) into the medical radiology community, the efficiency and workflow of radiology departments adopting this technology has been improved to a degree much greater than initially anticipated. Although technological advances fuel efficiency and improve workflow, medical mistakes become prevalent as a result. This observation underscores the need for active measures by PACS quality assurance personnel to prevent human and machine errors from contributing to the total of avoidable medical errors, particularly in the area of diagnostic imaging.
自从图像存档与通信系统（PACS）引入医学放射学界以来，采用该技术的放射科的效率和工作流程得到了极大提升，远超最初预期。尽管技术进步提高了效率并改善了工作流程，但医疗失误却因此变得普遍。这一观察结果凸显了PACS质量保证人员采取积极措施的必要性，以防止人为和机器错误导致可避免的医疗错误总数增加，尤其是在诊断成像领域。
