“…Figure 1 gives an overview of a typical radiology reporting workflow employed in clinical practice. Central to this framework is the PACS server [8] which is used as the central repository of image-based studies and the Radiology Information System (RIS) which is typically where the textbased report of the radiology exam is stored. Medical images are stored in the PACS archive in the DICOM format [9].…”

Visual Interpretation with Three-Dimensional Annotations (VITA): Three-Dimensional Image Interpretation Tool for Radiological Reporting

2013

This paper introduces a software framework called Visual Interpretation with Three-Dimensional Annotations (VITA) that is able to automatically generate threedimensional (3D) visual summaries based on radiological annotations made during routine exam reporting. VITA summaries are in the form of rotating 3D volumes where radiological annotations are highlighted to place important clinical observations into a 3D context. The rendered volume is produced as a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) object and is automatically added to the study for archival in Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). In addition, a video summary (e.g., MPEG4) can be generated for sharing with patients and for situations where DICOM viewers are not readily available to referring physicians. The current version of VITA is compatible with ClearCanvas; however, VITA can work with any PACS workstation that has a structured annotation implementation (e.g., Extendible Markup Language, Health Level 7, Annotation and Image Markup) and is able to seamlessly integrate into the existing reporting workflow. In a survey with referring physicians, the vast majority strongly agreed that 3D visual summaries improve the communication of the radiologists' reports and aid communication with patients.

“…The PACS-ELSA was developed to be an economic solution for the archiving of medical images, providing quick and decentralized access, 3 and complying with the standard for manipulating, storing and transmitting medical information, f called Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM). This standard includes the defi nition of the fi le format as well as the network communication protocol.…”

Gerencia de Informacao em Estudos Multicentricos: o Estudo Longitudinal de Saude do Adulto

Information management in large multicenter studies requires a specialized approach. The Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde do Adulto (ELSA-BrasilBrazilian Longitudinal Study for Adult Health) has created a Datacenter to enter and manage its data system. The aim of this paper is to describe the steps involved, including the information entry, transmission and management methods. A web system was developed in order to allow, in a safe and confi dential way, online data entry, checking and editing, as well as the incorporation of data collected on paper. Additionally, a Picture Archiving and Communication System was implemented and customized for echocardiography and retinography. It stores the images received from the Investigation Centers and makes them available at the Reading Centers. Finally, data extraction and cleaning processes were developed to create databases in formats that enable analyses in multiple statistical packages. In 2001, Guimarães et al 7 described that some areas of scientific activity in epidemiology, like that of chronic non-communicable diseases, were still not well developed in Brazil. In the last decade, as a result of a substantial increase in the promotion of health research, these diseases have begun to be better investigated. The comprehensiveness of the collected information has been expanded and the methodology for its acquisition has become more complex. DESCRIPTORS: Multicenter Studies as

“…So entwickelten verschiedene Fakultäten wie Radiologie [3,15,16,18], Dermatologie [9], Ophthalmologie [11,20] und Kardiologie [8,19] aber auch Pathologie und Anatomie [1] unabhängig voneinander Bildarchive, die oft nicht miteinander kommunizieren. Auch große Systeme wie das PACS (picture archiving and communication systems), welche bereits vor 27 Jahren entwickelt wurden [2,4,14,17,21], beschränken sich trotz langjähri-ger Weiterentwicklung hauptsächlich auf die digitale Erfassung und Verwaltung von Bildinformationen in der Radiologie [6,7], ein simultaner Zugriff auf die Patientendaten ist oft nicht möglich.…”

Ein neues Konzept der Integration von Bilddatenbanken in eine umfassende Patientendokumentation

2001

Image processing and archiving are of increasing importance in the practice of modern medicine. Particularly due to the introduction of computer-based investigation methods, physicians are dealing with a wide variety of analogue and digital picture archives. On the other hand, clinical information is stored in various text-based information systems without integration of image components. The link between such traditional medical databases and picture archives is a prerequisite for efficient data management as well as for continuous quality control and medical education. At the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Berne, a software program was developed to create a complete multimedia electronic patient record. The client-server system contains all patients' data, questionnaire-based quality control, and a digital picture archive. Different interfaces guarantee the integration into the hospital's data network. This article describes our experiences in the development and introduction of a comprehensive image archiving system at a large orthopedic center.
