What are the benefits of PACS?

PACS let you store standard 2D images alongside 3D images. You can reduce the number of identical images, which makes data management more efficient. It allows for a chronological view of a patient's radiology history. With PACS, surgeons can see images before their patients return to an exam room.

What is the difference between PACS and Radiology?

A radiology PACS system combines software and hardware for the purpose of storing images on both a short and long-term basis. Radiology PACS systems offer a much more efficient method for distributing, retrieving and managing medical images. Are you a radiologist, physician, medical office manager or another type of healthcare professional?

What is the difference between PACs and APCs?

Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are contractions of the atria that are triggered by the atrial myocardium but have not originated from the sinoatrial node (SA node). PACs are also commonly referred to as atrial premature complexes (APCs), premature supraventricular complexes, premature supraventricular beat, and premature atrial beat.

What are the symptoms of PACs?

Symptoms of patients with PACs range from fatigue, dyspnea, and dizziness, to near fainting, while some are asymptomatic. The long-term prognosis of these patients is characterized by increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular morbidities, and mortality due to the burden of PAC itself or to subsequent AF5,6,7,8.
