PACS and RIS Market To Witness Substantial Growth Due To Growing Popularity of PACS around the World
Overview:
A PACS
system is a database of medical images and other medical information. It is
generally stored in an RIS, though radiologists may choose to view the results
directly in PACS. Cloud PACS solutions, however, allow radiologists to access
even more information. Moreover, many providers boast of being able to
integrate PACS with RIS. However, they are unable to quantify the integration
time. RIS and PACS solutions are designed to facilitate interoperability among
imaging devices. This is done by creating a standardized communication
interface based on DICOM standards. The RIS acts as a master system that
provides image management and move control functions.
Market Dynamics:
The
popularity of PACS is growing all over the world and this is anticipated to
propel growth of the global PACS and RIS market over the forecast period. PACS
help to reduce the physical as well as time barriers linked to regular
film-based retrieval, display and distribution of images. For instance, in
August 2021, PaxeraHealth, developer of PACS/RIS announced to launch its novel
product called PaxexaUltima 8th Generation, which is an AI-based
imaging platform that provides AI algorithms for analyzing large data sets.
However,
risk of cyber-attacks leading to growing concerns about safety of data in
healthcare is likely to obstruct growth of the global PACS
and RIS market over the forecast period.
Impact of COVID-19:
The
coronavirus outbreak in China affected several industries around the world. Due
to the virus outbreak many countries announced nationwide lockdowns. Several
market activities including manufacturing, supply of raw materials and
distribution activities were disrupted throughout this period. The demand for
various products declined during the pandemic which adversely affected growth
of several markets including the one in discussion. However, as many countries
are lifting lockdown regulations, the market is likely to regain growth.
Key Takeaways:
·
The
global PACS and RIS market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period due to growing number of health
care facilities along with products of high value such as orthopedic PACS,
cardiology PACS, and more. For instance, in July 2022, The Royal Orthopedic
Hospital NHS Foundation Trust announced to deploy a novel cloud-based PACS to
offer radiologist intelligent productivity tools.
·
North
America is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the global PACS and RIS market over
the forecast period. This is due to growing demand for health care and
increasing government initiatives for R&D across the region.
