The evolution of display technologies in PACS applications
Picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) systems have been around for over a decade now. The most visible components in a PACS system are the PACS workstations. Most of the clinical users of PACS only interact with the display hardware/software pieces and never truly think about the archival and communications that occur behind the scenes. This paper discusses the evolution of PACS display technology in the past 16yr, which can roughly be divided into three phases and will also discuss future emerging trends.
