HL7 FHIR vs. V2 in Imaging: Why Your PACS Needs a Modern API For over 30 years, healthcare interoperability has spoken one language: HL7 V2. If you are a PACS Administrator, you know the drill. An order is placed in the EMR, an ORM message fires over a VPN tunnel, the RIS catches... By Andrei Blaj Nov 18, 2025

DICOM Interoperability Failures (And How Hospitals Fix Them) Why images still fail to open across systems — and how modern cloud PACS like Medicai solve the DICOM interoperability failures. Healthcare assumes medical imaging should be universally compatible, aka interoperability. A CT scan produced in one hospital should load... By Mircea Popa Nov 15, 2025

Mammography PACS & Tomosynthesis: Solving the "Heavy Data" Problem In the last decade, breast imaging has undergone a massive technological leap. We moved from 2D Digital Mammography (FFDM) to Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT). Clinically, this is a victory—detection rates are up, and recalls are down. IT-wise, it is a...
