A Complete PACS, From Modality to Radiologist
Pacslink PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) receives images directly from any DICOM-compliant modality, archives them safely and makes them available to authorised radiologists and clinicians in a web-based DICOM viewer. Printed films, CDs and lost studies stop being part of your daily workflow.
It is built on the DICOM 3.0 standard and connects to your RIS, HMIS and EMR over HL7, so images and reports always land on the right patient record. Choose cloud, on-premise or hybrid hosting depending on your internet, IT team and budget.
Key Capabilities
- DICOM 3.0 archive: Receives and stores studies from CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography and other DICOM modalities from any vendor.
- Web-based DICOM viewer: Radiologists and clinicians open studies in the browser, from any authorised workstation, inside or outside the hospital.
- Cloud, on-premise or hybrid: No large upfront hardware with Cloud PACS, or keep data in-house; hybrid keeps a local cache for fast in-house viewing.
- DICOM routing: Forward studies automatically between sites, archives and reporting radiologists for multi-site networks and teleradiology.
- HL7 integration: Connects with your RIS, HMIS and EMR, so orders, worklists and reports flow without re-typing patient details.
- Secure access: Role-based user access, audit trails of who viewed each study, and regular backups protect patient imaging data.
How Pacslink PACS Works
- Acquire: The modality sends the study to the PACS over DICOM as soon as the scan is complete.
- Archive: Images are stored, indexed to the patient and backed up in the cloud or on your own servers.
- Read: The radiologist opens the study in the web-based DICOM viewer and reports in the RIS.
- Share: Referring doctors and other sites view images and reports without film or CDs.
Standards & Integration
- DICOM 3.0: Every study is stored, archived and viewed in DICOM 3.0, from any DICOM-compliant CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound or mammography modality.
- Bi-directional HL7 (Orders In, Signed Reports Out): Patient and order details arrive from your RIS or HMIS over HL7, and signed reports return to the patient record.
