Although the number of hard-copy films submitted for secondary neuroradiology interpretations have plummeted, the volume of non-DICOM CDs has nearly doubled, according to a study published in the April issue of
American Journal of Roentgenology.
Radiology Limited will install Merge's suite of radiology systems at its nine imaging centers across southern Arizona.
John D. Halamka, MD, CIO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, seems to be taking a bit of flak for a recent assertion dubbing DICOM a "non-standard standard."
Mach 7 Technologies debuted the Keystone Study Split Utility, a CT and MRI segmenting software, which can be used to reduce the time required to split multiregion CT and MR scans into anatomic regions that match the original orders from the RIS and reducing the time required for the newly split studies to be sent to the PACS, at 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in Chicago.
When transferring images, it is important to have a process that promotes the validation of data, and includes the patient in the process, according to an article published in this month's Journal of Digital Imaging.
NEC Display Solutions of America has received FDA 510(k) market clearance for the MultiSync MD310C4 medical diagnostic display, which was created for medical imaging and PACS in hospitals, doctor’s offices, urgent care centers and other healthcare facilities.
SAN ANTONIO—The emergence of digital mammography applications has greatly benefited the early detection of breast cancer while bringing with it an increased responsibility to the clinical engineer, according to Steve Madere of Unisyn Medical Technologies, who presented his company's findings on June 26, during the 2011 Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) conference & expo.
Infinitt North America has launched an integration platform that unifies the viewing of radiological studies and simplifies reading/reporting workflow across multi-facility, multi-PACS reading environments.
As radiology practices tack on increasingly advanced applications and move closer toward seamlessly tying together all patient information via the EHR, RIS serves as the nerve center of radiology’s workflow, feeding PACS and driving connectivity. The result is ever faster, more comprehensive and integrated provision of patient care by radiologists—all thanks to a system which, in some practices, radiologists might themselves never directly use.
