Breast Imaging Reporting Tools and Management System Selected for Telemedicine Services

BelleBridge (Shelton, CT, USA) has selected Ikonopedia (Dallas, TX, USA) to provide breast imaging reporting tools, and a new US Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) management system, for interpretations of breast screening and diagnostic examinations.

BelleBridge provides remote telemedicine diagnostic and interpretation services for screening and diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The Ikonopedia software tool enables image-based breast-study interpretation and reporting, and can interface with various Radiology Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), and Information Systems. Ikonopedia also includes screening MRI, diagnostic MRI, diagnostic ultrasound, and biopsy functionality.

The Ikonopedia tool is designed to optimize the breast imaging workflow, and will enable BelleBridge radiologists to provide more accurate structured reports to their clients, faster than before. The reports are fully BI-RADS language compliant. The new management system is MQSA compliant, and can manage all patient tracking and communications, such as calls, letters, and mail, based on user-defined protocols.

Elmar A. Davé, MBA, COO, BelleBridge, said, "While breast imaging technology has made tremendous advances over the past several years with digital mammography, tomosynthesis and automated breast ultrasound, the true lynchpin to quality breast care is access to dedicated breast imagers. Ikonopedia is a perfect partner for improving breast care, offering breast specific reporting tools, risk assessment software and MQSA tracking capabilities that provide tremendous workflow and efficiency benefits that enable us to drive access to high quality breast imaging through the industry's first true breast telehealth service."
