What function is NOT performed by a PACS system?

Stores images
Retrieves and displays images
Acquires images
Displays only CT and MRI images

The correct answer is: Displays only CT and MRI images

A Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is designed to manage and store medical imaging data effectively. Its primary functions include the storage of images, retrieval of images, and displaying them for radiologists and other healthcare professionals. The system is versatile, handling a variety of imaging modalities such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound images, among others. The option indicating that a PACS system displays only CT and MRI images does not accurately reflect the system's capabilities. PACS is not limited to specific types of images; it supports a wide range of imaging styles, making its functionalities more comprehensive and integral to the broader healthcare IT environment. This flexibility and adaptability are key features of PACS and an important aspect of its role in medical imaging.
