PACS Performance Analysis In Hospital Radiology Unit

Medical imaging science for healthcare solution always grows and develops as well as information technology development continuously. Medical imaging used in radiology department has important job for good patient service in disease diagnostics or medicine treatment. The precision and accuracy in medical imaging also used in another diagnostics and medical treatment department. Radiology department was supported Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS). PACS is an integrated system that has many kind of function, such as image storage, image archiving, image accessing and manipulation. Data format used in the PACS is Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM), Dicom is standard for data storage, data archiving, data printing and information transmission in healthcare world. PACS technology in Radiology department can fix and problem elimination about time as major problem in diagnostics because medical diagnostic need accurate and precision. PACS technology implementation also developed as part of tele-radiology in Indonesia for alternative step to public healthcare service involvement and future medical science. Teleradiology used for physicians conference from the other site to discussing and consultation medical diagnostics, more physician can access same patient medical image in the same time together. Patient service will be smarter using PACS technology systems in medical imaging science.
