It is clear that ubiquitous mobile computing platforms will be a disruptive technology in the delivery of healthcare in the near future. While radiologists are fairly sedentary, their customers, the referring physicians, and the patients are not. The need for closer collaboration and interaction with referring physicians is seen as a key to maintaining relationships and integrating tightly with the patient management team. While today, patients have to settle for their images on a CD, in short time, they will be taking them home on their cell phone. As PACS vendors are moving ever outward in the enterprise, they are already actively developing clients on mobile platforms. Two major contenders are the Apple's iPhone and the Android platform developed by Google. These two designs represent two entirely different architectures and business models.
显然，无处不在的移动计算平台将是未来医疗保健领域的一项颠覆性技术。虽然放射科医生相对久坐不动，但他们的客户，即转诊医生和患者却不是这样。与转诊医生更紧密地合作和互动被视为维持关系和与患者管理团队紧密整合的关键。虽然如今患者只能在 CD 上查看自己的影像，但在不久的将来，他们将可以通过手机将其带回家。随着 PACS 供应商在企业中不断向外扩展，他们已经在积极开发移动平台上的客户端。两大主要竞争者是苹果的 iPhone 和谷歌开发的 Android 平台。这两种设计代表了两种完全不同的架构和商业模式。
