Radiological Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) have only relatively recently become abundant. Many hospitals have made the transition to PACS about a decade ago. During that decade requirements and available technology have changed considerably. In this paper we look at factors that influence the design of tomorrow's systems, especially those in larger multidisciplinary hospitals. We discuss their impact on PACS architecture (a technological perspective) as well as their impact on radiology (a management perspective). We emphasize that many of these influencing factors originate outside radiology and that radiology has little impact on these factors. That makes it the more important for managers in radiology to be aware of architectural aspects and it may change cooperation of radiology with, among others, the hospital's central IT department.
放射影像学图像存档与通信系统（PACS）直到最近才变得非常普及。许多医院在大约十年前就已经过渡到 PACS。在这十年中，需求和可用技术发生了很大的变化。在本文中，我们着眼于影响明天系统设计的因素，特别是那些在更大的多学科医院中的系统。我们讨论了它们对 PACS 架构（技术角度）以及对放射科（管理角度）的影响。我们强调，这些影响因素中有许多源自放射科之外，而放射科对这些因素的影响很小。这使得放射科的管理人员更加需要了解架构方面的知识，这可能会改变放射科与医院中央 IT 部门等部门的合作方式。
