PACS Designed to Optimize Radiologist Productivity

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 05 Feb 2013

An enterprise-level, mobile-enabled picture archiving and communication system (PACS) has been designed for healthcare systems, academic medical centers, and integrated delivery networks.

Centricity PACS, developed by GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK) offers a scalable imaging information technology (IT) platform designed to optimize radiologist productivity, enhance physician satisfaction, and interoperate with existing departmental (RIS, dictation) and enterprise (electronic medical records [EMRs], vender-neutral archive [VNA]) systems.

This PACS meets the diverse challenges and needs of today’s healthcare institutions with such advances as single DB Rad/Card, native mammography workflow, radiology information system (RIS)/PACS, cutting-edge visualization, web-based clients, EMR integration, DR/BC (disaster recovery and business continuity) and high availability, and most recently, mobile access on an Apple- or Android-enabled device.

Centricity PACS offers innovative features to optimize radiologist efficiency, referrals, and interoperability across the healthcare enterprise including: real-time work lists; user-configurable hot-keys; hanging protocols that provide access to the entire patient jacket; single-vendor dictation and integration to third-party dictation systems; and native mammography tools supporting screening and diagnostic workflow.

Other features include advanced applications supporting MIP/MPR (maximum intensity projection/multiplanar reformat), three-dimensions (3D), positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for oncology and angiography for CT and magnetic resonance (MR); EMR integration providing real-time access to the continuity of care during interpretation; Web-based clients for remote diagnosis; enhance integrated collaborative care with a web-based reporting platform for diagnostic reading.

Centricity radiology mobile access provides mobile access to images and reports from Centricity PACS are supported on Apple or Android devices. The Centricity clinical archive unifies patient images and documents across the care range to help clinicians make informed decisions with greater efficiency.

$Image: Kyushu University researchers use Dynamic Chest Radiography (DCR) to evaluate the severity of Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR), a common complication after treatment of the congenital heart disease Tetralogy of Fallot. The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$

Rapid X-Ray Test Quantifies Pulmonary Regurgitation After Tetralogy of Fallot Repair

$Image: By training the AI with simulations, researchers can reconstruct brain images with high precision using only one-tenth of the data typically required in magnetic resonance imaging. The image shows a metric known as “fractional anisotropy”—an index of myelination—obtained using conventional methods and with the new approach (Photo courtesy of Instituto de Neurociencias UMH CSIC)$
