Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
The EMR allows an institution or physician's office to track all of a patient's medical information
in a digital format, rather than a paper copy. - correct answer ✔✔ What software program is
used for digital documentation of all patient health information?
a. Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
PACS is used to store and access images in a modern day radiology department. Competed
images are sent to the PACS archive server to be permanently stored within the PACS network. -
correct answer ✔✔ Which of the following is used for long-term storage of digital image data?
a. Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
b. Electronic Health Record (EHR)
c. International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10)
d. Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
DICOM is a special computer language that is designed to function on all PACS systems,
regardless of vendor or facility. Simply put, DICOM is the language of PACS. - correct answer ✔✔
Imaging and archiving systems in radiology communicate using a digital format called:
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
, The EHR is an inter-facility health record, as opposed to the EMR, which is an intra-facility health
record. The EHR can be used by multiple providers at different locations to better track a
patient's care. - correct answer ✔✔ Patient records are shared between medical providers
using:
1,2, and 3
A PACS network has several components that all work together. Once a study has been
completed in any particular modality, the images are then sent to the PACS Archive Server for
permanent storage and distribution to the Radiologist workstation for reading. - correct answer
✔✔ A PACS network consists of the following:
1.Archive server
2.Display workstations
3.Imaging modality
d. Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
Regardless of the manufacturer of the PACS network in place or the facility that is using it,
DICOM is the language that allows for the fluid communication of all PACS networks. - correct
answer ✔✔ Which of the following defines standards for radiology image formatting?
a. Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
b. Electronic Health Record (EHR)
c. International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10)
d. Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM)
1,2, and 3
All of the above must be connected and communicating in order for the entire system to
function correctly. PACS receives studies completed by the technologist on various imaging
