PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) stores, retrieves and shares medical images — X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound — digitally, replacing physical film.
PACS uses the DICOM standard and works alongside the RIS (Radiology Information System) so images are linked to orders and reports, and viewable anywhere in the hospital or remotely.
SBS deploys PACS and RIS integrated with the HIS, with DICOM connectivity and secure remote viewing. See our PACS solution.
