The impact of PACS on research and education

Abstract

Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) are rapidly evolving and the total digital radiology department may be a reality within the next decade. PACS can have a major impact on the educational and research responsibilities of a medical institution. The possibility of correlating real patient data with existing radiological teaching files opens up numerous possibilities. Multi-institutional research can be strengthened by employing the PACS as the means to the end. This paper discusses the representative examples of how teaching and research can be enhanced with PACS and the technical requirements to achieve the inter-connectivity.
