The applications for which picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) will be used must dictate the technological requirements. Technology-driven integrated PACS have been implemented and tested in a variety of clinical environments. PACS do not generate new revenues, albeit they may affect the bottom line of health care delivery systems through increased efficiency of radiology and, perhaps more important, of the other physicians who use radiologic services. User performance expectations require that trade-offs are evaluated and compromises are made when PACS are designed using currently available technology. In this report, functional requirements for clinical PACS are discussed. These include reliability, speed, ease of use, connectivity, and upgradability. The advantages and disadvantages of specific choices are presented from a utility perspective of an end user.
