Revisiting deconstructed PACS: Part 2
In 2014, AuntMinnie.com published an article by PACS executive Brad Levin that described a new concept he called "deconstructed PACS," in which PACS components are purchased on a modular basis rather than as part of an all-in-one solution from a single vendor. Four years later, Mr. Levin looks at how far the concept has come in this two-part series.

The time is now for deconstructed PACS
Is it time to rethink our perception of PACS? In this article, imaging informatics executive Brad Levin discusses how traditional PACS seems to have outlived its usefulness, and it should be replaced by a notion of deconstructed PACS in which technologies once seen as components now offer key functionality to radiologists.

What’s the best treatment for 'eloquent' brain AVMs?
Researchers performed the first direct comparisons of two emerging techniques for treating arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Images in a 49-year-old patient originally treated for hormone receptor-positive invasive cancer without preoperative MRI who developed bloody nipple discharge two years after surgery. (A) Left mediolateral oblique mammogram shows new grouped pleomorphic calcification (arrow) adjacent to the previous operation site. (B) Transverse ultrasound image shows a 2.3-cm hypoechoic mass (arrows) with calcifications. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced fat-saturated T1-weighted MRI scan shows an irregular, heterogeneously enhancing mass (arrow) in the left breast, adjacent to the operation site. The final pathologic examination confirmed recurrent invasive ductal carcinoma.
