PACS
Subject: PACS
This is the digital x-ray system most hospitals now use. I'm positive it's PACS and stands for something like Patient Archiving Communication System. You know, no more x-rays on film but digitized. You get to carry a CD to your next doc instead of big floppy copies of your films. Don't feel badly that you didn't know it. I asked THREE different radiology techs at 2 different local hospitals when I first heard it, and none of them knew it! Had to find a radiology department head to get it. Rosie
PACS system
Subject: PACS system
Many, many hospitals use the PACS system and well as imaging centers. It is the electronic digital system that allows the x-rays to be viewed on a computer screen as opposed to the old school view box. They usually have an PACS administrator that oversees all problems related with the system. It now has an added dictation/transcription portion that can be purchased to go along with the system. If you are doing Radiology transcription PACS is a word you will hear alot, not so much in dictation but in film storage, etc.
