PACS represents the natural evolution from the digital new modalities (US, CT, MRI,...) to a global digital environment, where the film based activities are progressively replaced by their digital counterpart. The advantages of the technique, as well as the drawbacks of the first implementations, are described. The "second generation" PACS concept is presented (modular architecture, progressive implementation, multivendor environment, integration with the Hospital Information System, standardization,...). As "case study", the example of the A.Z.-V.U.B. Hospital Implementation is described.
PACS代表了从数字新模态（超声、CT、MRI等）到全球数字环境的自然演进，在这个环境中，基于胶片的活动逐渐被其数字对应物所取代。文中描述了该技术的优点以及首批实施中的缺点。介绍了“第二代”PACS概念（模块化架构、逐步实施、多供应商环境、与医院信息系统集成、标准化等）。作为“案例研究”，描述了A.Z.-V.U.B.医院实施的示例。
