“…The European Society of Radiology (ESR) Subcommittee on Ultrasound recognises that ultrasound examinations and reports are not always appropriately archived within hospital information systems [18]. Archiving of ultrasound images and reports is technically feasible, either as a separate archive dedicated solely to ultrasound, or, ideally, within the hospital Picture Archiving Computer System (PACS) [19,20]. There may be difficulties in providing a network connection when ultrasound examinations are performed at the bedside or in an emergency setting, and large server capacities may be needed to store large amounts of data when videoclips or cine loops have to be recorded.…”

This document summarises best practice recommendations for medical imaging use of ultrasound in Europe, representing the agreed consensus of experts from the Ultrasound Subcommittee of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) Section of Radiology, and the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. Recommendations are given for education and training, equipment and its maintenance, documentation, hygiene and infection prevention, and medico-legal issues.

“…By the establishment of charge-coupled device cameras, digital image documentation complies with the technological requirements in all operative disciplines. Image documentation is not only important for operative disciplines, but also for other disciplines like radiology and sonography [9,10]. Different disciplines have different requirements for image documentation.…”

Systems integration in the operating room: the challenge of the decade

In the past 50 years the equipment of operating rooms has changed enormously due to technological innovation and new surgery methods. In particular the establishment of minimally invasive therapy has led to a considerable increase in equipment and instruments that have to be used during surgery. The development of new equipment and instruments has had priority over the past 10-15 years, whereas now the manifold different equipment require systems integration and networking. Systems integration and networking of different OR (operating room) system components are very important current technological challenges in operative medicine. While certain technologies like robotic and navigation are still in the early stages, image documentation is an excellent starting point for systems integration because of the advanced development stage and the need for all operative disciplines. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Tübingen in Germany (UFK) is delving into systems integration and networking in the operating room. In addition to the central control and monitoring of different systems, operating tables and lighting, the image documentation of intraoperative results is a principal topic. The UFK project is part of the Center of Competence for Minimally Invasive Medicine and Technology Tübingen-Tuttlingen (MITT), which is promoted by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. This article presents the importance and potential of systems integration and networking in health care, the current stage of development and future trends, considering image documentation as an example.

“…When an ultrasound PACS was implemented at Cattinara Hospital in Italy with workstations placed on the wards, the clinicians noted the advantages of a decreased rate of repeat and unnecessary studies, decreased hospitalization times, and faster availability of ultrasound reports. 4 The benefit of greater availability of comparison studies with PACS has been demonstrated to increase significantly (P < .01) the rate at which radiologists compare old studies to current ones, 5 although this has little impact on report turnaround time. The time taken to display new studies with relevant comparisons is shorter using a PACS.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical attitudes and expectations in the implementation of a neuroradiology picture archiving and communication system (PACS). A 1-page survey of expectations and clinical attitudes toward a neuroradiology mini-PACS was dist¡ to 49 full-time faculty members in the departments of neurosurgery, neurology, and otorhinolaryngology at an academic center. Interest in viewing soft-copy images was moderate to very high for over 89% of clinicians. AII clinicians were comfortable with phone consultations with radiologists while viewing soft-copy images. Clinicians preferred retrieving images from personal computers over workstations and film libraries by 72.9%, 27.1%, and 0%, respectively. However, 38.5% of surgeons felt the need for hard copy in the operating room. Clinicians estimated that in 18.3% of cases, patients took their in-house films to outside institutions for consultations. Clinicians were enthusiastic about implementing PACS. Although acceptance of soft-copy viewing among clinicians is high, some provision for supplying hardcopy images appears to be necessary.
