Coronoid Fracture Height in Terrible-Triad Injuries

“…Distances were measured using imaging software (OSIRIS Imaging Software; Digital Imag- ing Unit, University Hospital of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland). 7 To evaluate the reliability of the measurement techniques, 2 observers performed all measurements of coronoid fragment height and the interobserver reliability was calculated. To evaluate intraobserver reliability each measurer repeated the measurements after a 2-week interval.…”

A medical workstation for the display and analysis of multi-frame digital cineradiographic data

“…However, they generally do not support an open architecture which hampers the integration of in-house developed routines or functionality into the system. One of the closest matches to our specifications was a public domain package called OSIRIS [7][8] (from the Digital Imaging Unit of the University Hospital of Geneva). OSIRIS provides both lightbox-style and animated viewing as well as Region Of Interest (ROI) based image processing.…”

“…A digital environment generally also facilitates image data management, communication, and navigation, both locally during a review session and globally across department and hospital boundaries. Significant recent advances in the conceptual development of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) [1]- [4], the introduction of the DICOM standard [5] [6] designed to facilitate image data interchange among clinical institutions, and the growing number of commercial PACS (e.g., Shared Vision from ImageLabs, Burlington, MA; VRS and Allegro by ISG, Toronto, Canada; and Bscan from GLP Rochester, NY), and public domain PACS (such as OSIRIS [7] [8]) are clear evidence that digital image review technologies are in the process of replacing traditional film-based procedures. However, when designing clinical software for image management, display, and enhancement, one has to take into account that the clinician may be inexperienced in the use of modern computer workstations.…”
