Moreover, with the upgrading of Taiwan's National Health Insurance System, hospitals and other medical institutions are also aggressively advancing their information management systems to meet future needs. PACS, using an Advantech Medical ePlatform, is a PC-based advanced solution for picture archiving and communication. Through INTERNET structure, the solution converts the image from an endoscope camera into DIACOM 3.0 format and then transfers the DIACOM data from the modality to the main server, allowing for data retrieval and processing when required. PACS simplifies the process of picture archiving and communication, providing real-time, paperless and film-free terminals for medical applications.
