    A shared standard

    DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. The standard describes how medical imaging information and related data are communicated and managed. It provides a common foundation for exchange between imaging systems.

    The study in context

    A screenshot captures a selected view. Continuing care may require the full examination, its series and associated information. Before sharing, the team should establish which original images and reports the receiving practice needs.

    Share digitally

    With PACSY, your practice makes studies available digitally. Patients and referrers receive access to the images intended for them. The sharing workflow is configured together with your organization.
