 To review the technological advances in image data storage, retrieval and integration of advanced imaging tools(such as syngo.viaTM). To discuss the advantages of advanced imaging tools  through case examples.

-Advancements in CT, MRI technology leading to large volume of image datasets. - Need for the integrated tools in the PACS station. -Dynamic manipulation of images with various reformations (such as multiplanar reformations, maximal intensity projections(MIP), volume rendering techniques and virtual endoscopy) Cases examples illustrating role of integrated advanced imaging tools in : Vascular and Intervention radiology: pre-procedural planning and interventional management. - Diagnostic Imaging : improvement in diagnostic accuracy, and more accurate staging of neoplasms.   Summary: The new innovative technology of integration of advanced imaging tools with RIS-PACS improvesthe time of image interpretation and  productivity,  and thereby impacting the reporting turn-around-time in a busy radiology department.
