Market Insights
A Radiology Information System (RIS) is a computer system that aims to support effective operations and workflow in a radiology department; whereas, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) facilitates storage, presentation, retrieval, distribution and management of medical images. These systems help in managing all the business functions of the department from patient analysis and management to inventory control. RIS is considered as the core system for the electronic management of imaging departments. PACS has become a the necessary tool for healthcare institutions such as hospitals, emergency care centers and imaging centers to complement digital modalities and to meet the ever growing productivity demands. Integration of PACS and RIS have proven to be a cost-effective solution for the management and distribution of radiology images. According to market experts, integration of RIS and PACS can increase the productivity by 15% to 20% and higher, especially in computer tomography and magnetic image resonance. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is the universal format for image storage and transfer through PACS. DICOM permits PACS, RIS and other medical imaging solutions to connect and transfer data to systems at other healthcare facilities.
