Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) that digitally acquire, archive, transmit, and display medical images ultimately enabled the transition from an analog film-based operation to a digital workflow revolutionizing radiology. This article briefly traces early generation systems to present-day PACS, noting challenges along with key technological advances and benefits. Thoughts for future PACS evolution are discussed including the promise of integration of artificial intelligence applications.
图像存档与通信系统(PACS)能够以数字方式采集、存档、传输和显示医学图像,最终实现了从基于模拟胶片的操作向数字化工作流程的转变,彻底改变了放射学。本文简要追溯了早期系统到当今的PACS,指出了其中的挑战以及关键技术进步和优势。还讨论了对未来PACS发展的思考,包括人工智能应用集成的前景。
