At the 2011 RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting in Chicago last month, the PACS industry seemed to have quit the era of out-of-tune marketing communications cold turkey. The collective marketing message perhaps lacked the energy of years past, but the different voices were certainly more in harmony around PACS 2.0

Teleradiology firms have sought to differentiate themselves through ultra-subspecialization, faster turnaround times, and more efficient workflow IT solutions. They have been doing this so thoroughly - to the point in which the workflow solutions that they had originally developed for their own internal organizations and their respective customer bases now constitute complete product suites that they can sell to the greater medical imaging marketplace, including the PACS replacement market.

If there is just one prediction that has held exactly true since the downturn starting in 2008 in the medical imaging industry, it has to be the one related to the “Big Data” challenge and the fact that imaging providers would continue to face an ever more precarious situation drowning under Big Data.

Traditionally, as a result of the low priority for IT spending, most cross-industry technology transfers have been one-way into healthcare, and very rarely out of healthcare. Now with IT budgets rising, counterexamples of this scenario might become more commonplace.
