Picture Archiving and Communications System

Picture Archiving and Communications System or PACS is a digital image standard developed by the UK National Health Service (NHS). PACS is designed so images such as X-rays and other scans are stored digitally, rather than physically.

PACS will deal with a wide range of specialities including X-rays, radiotherapy, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, angiography, cardiology, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, dental and symptomatic mammography.
