Hey guys from Radiologando, how are you? We're here for another video on the channel and in today's video I'm going to teach you what PACS is and all about it. But calm down, before starting the video, you will leave a like there and if you are new to the channel and are arriving now, subscribe and activate all the notifications so you don't miss any video and of course stay on top of everything that is posted here.
Also remembering that you can follow me on social media. Both on @radiologando and also on @ygorjulioprof where you can follow the live participations and much more and radiolog up close with us. Message given without further ado.
Let's go to the video? Well, we know that with each passing day, each era, radiology advances more and more, especially with regard to technological evolution. If we give a brief summary of the past in relation to radiology, we will have the manual development process, the screen film system and even the archiving of a large space where it was necessary to store all the exams and radiographic films, but over time, technology, that is, the digital age was also linked to radiology.
Around the year 2000, basically we already had the first digital systems in relation to radiology, being applied there in practice and this practice has been growing more and more, so much so that today we had direct digital radiology there. , indirect digital radiology , especially with regard to the image production process. And after this image is produced, after this file, after this exam is performed, how do we do all this storage?
Well, basically, the one from English basically in the translation to Portuguese, which is the communication and archiving system of images that basically favors this whole process? After all, it's also linked there in relation to digital through there in relation to the storage of these images. Pax, in turn, is installed precisely to facilitate all this intersectorial communication and when I say intersectorial, I mean in relation to the report sectors, the sectors where the exam is carried out or even where the technician performs the exam and send it directly to PAX.
So, basically this system, it has its advantages, which in turn facilitates the day-to-day, especially with regard to the storage of these images. Well imagine with me, imagine you store a huge amount of approximately five thousand exams in a room. You would need a large physical space there to store it.
And imagine the organization. Imagine you separating each exam separated there by letter, by name, by exam, anyway, it would be even more work for you to look for it, isn't it? The Pax, being fully digital, fully digitized there, fully electronic there , you can access all the patient information regarding the exams that were performed, the type of exam in a fast and totally objective way there, easy in relation to the search.
So, the Pax would be there, as I told you, it has some advantages. So, write down the main advantages of these, which in turn help and revolutionize the image archiving system more and more . Well, among the main advantages in relation to PATS, there is initially its main objective, which is to standardize and facilitate, as I said, communication between clinics, hospitals and also doctors.
After all, imagine, the doctor is not there in the sector, he is not in that clinic, but he has access directly there remotely and, most importantly, securely, after all, it is medical data that will be being sent from that patient. So, all this information, they are accessed remotely in a secure way and it also allows all this issue there in relation to security and also its sharing. And of the main advantages, we have , initially, one of the main ones in relation to the cost-benefit.
There we have the cost reduction. As I said, in the past these images needed a physical space, ok? And basically we had to have several types of organizers to be able to separate and make everything cute.
Not now, we basically have a computer that is capable of storing all this information and once again, as an advantage, we also have an easy or faster search, after all, you just need to enter some patient data such as name, surname or even some other information in relation to the registration there, for example, and you can already access all the patient's data there. In addition, the management is also improved, it is improved, because you can separate each exam there individually, each exam that was sent there to the PACS and even in relation there if you need to repeat the exam or check the PAX would also be addition. After all, can you imagine handling more than five thousand exams?
Probably some of these exams ended up being lost, that is, lost and there was a need there to recall the patient to be able to perform the exam again, in short, it generated all that inconvenience and now it doesn't. This issue of repeat exams was almost gone. After all, every exam it is kept there neatly.
And each even the same patient who often lost his exam at home, if he wants to recover, retrieve this exam, he can go to the medical center where he performed the exam and retrieve that image, even in relation to a future evaluation that he will need. So realize that PAX has several advantages in relation to its application and all of this is directly linked to digital radiology, whether direct or indirect, such as X-ray techniques, mammography, densitometry, tomography, magnetic resonance, medicine nuclear, among several others that in turn are performed on a daily basis there in relation to radiology in general. And with all these advantages that I just talked about in relation to PAX, they do not stop there, not as an advantage PAXI also allows and gives the possibility of being integrated with other systems there, that is, it is not a single system, solid, which works there individually.
No, it is also collaborative, that is, it allows the connection of several other systems that can work simultaneously with it there. And as an advantage we also have the issue of standardization. When we have a fully operational, quality and functional system there, it turns out that this standardization is easier to be established and the PAX also allows this, so much so that all medical centers that, in turn, there, mainly with images, have this system linked even in relation to the issue of accessibility, ease of handling, in short, among other advantages that I told you in this video earlier.
So, what did you think of this video? Have you ever heard about the Pax system? Well, know that this content also falls under public tender.
So, I suggest you make your note there so you don't forget, okay? Remembering, folks, there's a new video every Tuesday and Thursday, here at seven o'clock at night. Don't forget to subscribe, like and activate all notifications.
So you don't miss any video and stay on top of all the content. Also remembering to follow us on social media. Both at radiologando at arroba and at arroba there you will be able to participate in stories, posts and radiolog up close with us.
Well, I'm staying here. Thank you very much for your attention. See you there in the next video, the next or maybe the next post.
Much and more. Thanks.
