In the last decade, radiology has undergone constant pressure—from higher study volumes to the demand for faster turnaround times and increasingly complex diagnostic expectations. As we move toward 2026, radiologists are no longer just asking for incremental improvements in their PACS for radiologists. They want a system designed around their workflow, not a generic imaging platform that forces them to adapt.
In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, efficiency, accuracy, and patient-centered care are more critical than ever. Hospitals are under increasing pressure to handle higher patient volumes, reduce errors, and streamline workflows. To achieve this, seamless integration of healthcare systems has become essential. Among the most impactful integrations is the connection between Picture Archiving and Communication Systems …

In the modern healthcare landscape, small clinics often find themselves in a David-and-Goliath battle against large hospital networks. These big institutions possess vast resources, cutting-edge technology, and powerful marketing budgets. While it may seem like an insurmountable challenge, smaller practices have a powerful ally in their corner: Cloud PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System). What …
How Small Clinics Can Compete with Big Hospitals Using Cloud PACS? Read More »
For decades, the on-premise PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) was a cornerstone of radiology departments. These legacy systems successfully digitized medical imaging, but they came with significant limitations: high maintenance costs, limited scalability, and accessibility issues. In an era defined by telehealth, remote work, and data-driven healthcare, these drawbacks are no longer sustainable. Hospitals …

In previous blog articles, we have covered the history of radiology, inception of the DICOM standard here as well as the anatomy of the filetype and the viewer here. DICOM viewers today are packaged with a multitude of features including easy viewing and robust image post-processing. In this blog article, we will focus on understanding …
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, otherwise known as DICOM is a common industry standard used by the radiology community worldwide to transfer medical imaging files. Established first in 1983, by a joint collaboration between the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), this standard was developed owing to one …
PACS, a widely known acronym in the radiology world, is familiar to every graduating radiology student poised to be a radiologist. Yet, numerous medical-imaging diagnostic centers continue to operate without PACS software, either unable or unwilling to keep up with the evolving trend in the healthcare market. So what exacty is PACS? Why is it …
