The global picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) market is majorly driven by growing adoption of healthcare IT and increasing usage of diagnostic imaging. The use of diagnostic medical imaging in a large integrated health system is increasing at a faster pace. Increasing demand by patients and physicians, extensive availability of technology, and favorable reimbursement scenarios are factors responsible for the rise in demand for PACS. Increasing awareness regarding the adoption of diagnostic imaging is rapidly growing, resulting a peers of amplified imaging data for image archiving and thus increasing the increased demand for PACS.

The common format for PACS image is DICOM which stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. Once compressed in DICOM format, the scanned documents with non-image data are incorporated using consumer industry standard formats such as PDF. A PACS includes major components that are, the imaging modalities such as CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and X-ray plain film, archives for the storage and retrieval of images and reports, a secured network for the transmission of patient information, and workstations for interpreting and reviewing images. Combined with emerging and available web technology, PACS has the ability to deliver efficient and timely access to related data, images, and interpretations. PACS decreases the time barriers associated with traditional film-based image display, retrieval, and distribution.
