The PACS is a significant component in a DR environment. A PACS makes use of digital technologies for storage, display, and communication of digital images acquired by all digital modalities. As illustrated in Figure 2.10, the system consists of a number of components such as a computer system that performs tasks of image storage, archiving, and image processing. Coupled to a large‐scale PACS are the information systems: the RIS and the HIS. Furthermore, the PACS can be accessed via the Internet as well.

Image communication systems continue to evolve into systems intended to improve the performance of PACS. These technologies include Cloud PACS, a technology derived from cloud computing; VNAs; and Enterprise Imaging. These systems are described in detail by Seeram [5].
