The rising number of medical imaging procedures is anticipated to drive the expansion of the cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market going forward. Medical imaging procedures are methods that generate visual representations of the body’s internal structures to diagnose, monitor, and guide disease treatment. The growing incidence of chronic diseases increases the need for medical imaging procedures, as they are crucial for precise diagnosis, monitoring, and therapeutic management. A cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) supports medical imaging procedures by securely storing, organizing, and sharing medical images online, enabling quicker access, remote consultations, and streamlined workflows for radiologists and healthcare providers. For example, in May 2023, according to the National Health Service, a UK-based government department, the number of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) activities referred by general practitioners rose from 8,695 in January 2022 to 8,745 in January 2023. Therefore, the increasing number of medical imaging procedures is propelling the growth of the cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market.

Leading companies operating in the cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as AI-enabled clinical workflow to automate image analysis, streamline diagnostics, and enhance radiologist efficiency in real time. AI-enabled clinical workflow involves the use of artificial intelligence to automate image analysis, prioritize cases, and support clinical decision-making for faster and more accurate patient care. For example, in November 2023, Koninklijke Philips N.V., a Netherlands-based health technology company, launched HealthSuite Imaging, a cloud-based next generation of Vue PACS, introducing new AI-enabled clinical and operational workflows at RSNA23. This advanced platform consolidates diagnostics, image management, reporting, and operational tools within a scalable environment, enabling remote access, accelerated AI adoption, and reduced IT expenses for healthcare providers.

In June 2024, RamSoft Inc., a Canada-based provider of cloud-based RIS/PACS radiology solutions, entered into a partnership with RADPAIR to incorporate generative artificial intelligence-powered radiology reporting into RamSoft’s cloud-based PACS platform. Through this collaboration, the companies aim to improve radiology workflow efficiency, increase reporting accuracy, and speed up diagnostic turnaround times by integrating artificial intelligence-driven automation directly into cloud-native PACS environments. RADPAIR is a US-based healthcare technology company focused on generative artificial intelligence solutions for radiology reporting.

The cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as secure cloud storage of medical images, image archiving and retrieval, remote image access and viewing, workflow management, data backup, and compliance with healthcare data privacy and security requirements. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market also include sales of X ray machines, computed tomography (CT) scanners, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.

A cloud-based radiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is a medical imaging solution that stores radiology images and patient information on cloud servers instead of on-premises. It enables healthcare providers to access, share, and analyze images remotely, enhancing workflow efficiency and data scalability.

The essential components of cloud-based radiology PACS systems include software and services. Software refers to specialized programs designed to store, retrieve, and manage medical imaging data efficiently and securely. Integrated technologies include artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, data analytics, mobile access solutions, and others. Functionalities offered include image storage and retrieval, image sharing and collaboration, reporting tools, integration with other systems, and additional features.
