| Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is a medical imaging technology which provides storage and convenient access to images from multiple modalities (imaging equipment). The images are transmitted digitally from modality and stored in PACS. The universal format for this is DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). The DICOM images are seen using a DICOM image viewer which could be native or web based. |
