With the latest development in healthcare technology, the entire medical imaging and communication seems to be revolutionized. The arrival of innovative tools for picture archiving and communication has taken the health service industry to a new level.
The advent of PACS system is said to be a boon for entire health care sector. It is a picture archiving and communication system widely used in hospitals and clinics for acquiring, sorting, transporting, storing, editing and finally displaying medical images. The modern imaging software enables images such as x-rays and scans to be electronically stored and finally viewed on the screen. With the help of Pacs systems, medical professionals are able to access and compare various images simply with the touch of the button. They are the latest technologies for the retrieval, distribution and presentation of images to help doctors in their diagnosis process.

PACS/RIS systems are the most advanced imaging technologies allowing users to interface with several types of imaging devices including X-Ray, CTScan, MRI, Ultrasound etc. to capture the images in a digital format. With the help of these software, the captured images can be manipulated with ease and later one transmitted to various computer networks. Once information is stored through RIS, the authorized health care specialist can use this information to schedule and then complete the digital exams. After the exams are finished, the authorized radiologist is supposed to interpret them.

Leave PACS systems aside; there are several other useful medical tools catering widely to communication in healthcare sector. One of these systems include dictation software, which is apparently useful in any industry, be it entertainment, banking, travel, education etc. It helps users to transcribe all what others say or speak. It saves lots of time, efforts and energy by enabling to quickly jot down the speech of others who are interacting with you. The software also has the spell check function to provide users with the right spellings of certain medical terms.

Today, medical transcriptions software is preferred choice in hospitals, laboratories and clinics. It comes with speech recognition tool to catch word to word from the mouth of a speaker. This also helps you identify punctuations, capitalizations and sentence formation. Most medical transcription software come with SSL technology. Now hospitals can also take the help of Tele-radiology software designed to streamline workflow in healthcare organizations operating in different parts of the globe.

Just like PACs and RIS, the Tele-radiology solutions are also help in the transmission of radiological images of the patient, including X-Rays, CT Scans, and MRIs. They improve patient care by allowing Radiologists to provide services without being at the location the patient. So, in today’s advanced technical world, the task of medical professionals have become quite simple. They are now being used by all advanced laboratories and healthcare providers across the globe.
