PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) is a synonym for the replacement of the traditional photographic film by means of technologies that will communicate and store images exclusively in digital form. Digital mass storage will replace the film archives and will be linked to all image sources by means of a data communication network. More significantly, PACS will also introduce a novel type of image-evaluation modality, the diagnostic image work station. Images will be displayed on TV monitors. In addition, a variety of support functions will become available for image handling and processing. The replacement of the light box by a digital work station will definitely cause dramatic changes in the radiologist's work.
图像存档与通信系统（PACS）是指通过专门以数字形式通信和存储图像的技术来取代传统摄影胶片的代名词。数字大容量存储将取代胶片档案，并通过数据通信网络与所有图像源相连。更重要的是，PACS还将引入一种新型的图像评估方式，即诊断图像工作站。图像将显示在电视监视器上。此外，还将提供各种用于图像处理和加工的支持功能。用数字工作站取代观片灯肯定会给放射科医生的工作带来巨大变化。
