Digital radiology is quickly establishing itself as a cost-effective alternative to the traditional process of film-based imaging. Digital radiography, or sometimes referred to as Radiology PACS, is a type of x-ray imaging, where digital X-ray sensors in a RIS PACS format are used instead of traditional photographic film. Film is no longer needed to be developed in a darkroom. Instead, the imaging plate is run through a computer scanner to read and digitize the image using PACS software.

The PACS system makes it possible for medical images like x-rays and scans to be stored electronically and then viewed on screens. An RIS PACS creates a process that is not only film-less but also greatly improves diagnosis methods. The digital image can then be viewed and enhanced using PACS software or DICOM Solutions which functions very similarly to conventional image-processing software, using tools like contrast, brightness, and zoom. Doctors and other health professionals can now access and compare images at the touch of a button.

RIS PACS enables clinicians the ability to access the right image in the right place at the right time to help come to an efficient, high quality and well communicated patient diagnosis. It is no wonder that most hospitals and doctor's office are moving toward implementing PACS system imaging. Among the above reasons radiology PACS also allows for:

- ris pacs provides a faster delivery of medical images, which can lead to speedier availability of results - No images are ever lost or misplaced like a film copy can be. - You are given the ability to report whenever. Even if it's only 15 minutes, PACS or DICOM solutions allows a physician to pull up the image on a screen instantly - The quality of the images is much more reliable. Unlike film, there will never be any black spots due to bad light or any other complications. - A PACS system provides better analysis due to its flexible viewing ability to manipulate images on screen. - A doctor or physician is given quicker, near instant access to older images and records. The comparison of old and new patient images which helps to measure the effectiveness of treatment or the development of a condition has never been easier. - Since PACS can be viewed from more than one terminal by different clinicians at the same time, collaboration between these specialists is becoming more common, working to the benefit of the patient - A more efficient radiology department. The combination of radiology PACS, along with the technology of voice recognition means that diagnoses can be made and authorized near instantly. - Improved learning and training opportunities, both for radiologist trainees looking to develop their skills along with existing radiologists as there is more opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, sharing thoughts and experiences.

Thanks to the advancements of PACS in radiography, clinicians can very quickly determine the quality of the image taken and make a diagnosis more quickly and accurately. All of the necessary information they need is available right in front of them in a digitalized format.
