Commercial picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) are adept at supporting mainstream radiology work flow, but radiologists frequently encounter situations requiring additional functionality. For example, the incorporation of foreign or nonradiologic images and the deidentification of examinations for research purposes are useful tasks that do not fall within the purview of most commercial PACS. A suite of free, downloadable, vendor-independent software programs designed as PACS add-ons, the SimpleDICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Suite, has been developed to aid radiologists in performing these tasks. Clinically relevant software design and informed administrative decisions during deployment allow optimal function of this software suite, which is available for download from the Internet.
商业图像存档与通信系统（PACS）擅长支持主流放射科工作流程，但放射科医生经常遇到需要额外功能的情况。例如，纳入外来或非放射影像以及为研究目的对检查进行去识别处理，这些都是有用的任务，但不属于大多数商业PACS的范畴。作为PACS附加组件开发的一套免费、可下载且独立于供应商的软件程序——SimpleDICOM（医学数字成像和通信）套件，已被开发出来以帮助放射科医生执行这些任务。临床相关的软件设计以及部署过程中明智的管理决策可使该软件套件实现最佳功能，该套件可从互联网上下载。
