Workstation, RIS flaws lead defense hit list
More than half of the deficiency citations issued to PACS facilities as a result of testing performed by the Department of Defense involve problems with the radiology workstations, system interfaces, and radiology information systems.
More than half of the deficiency citations issued to PACS facilities as a result of testing performed by the Department of Defense involve problems with the radiology workstations, system interfaces, and radiology information systems.
The DOD performed the acceptance testing on its huge Digital Imaging Network-PACS (DIN-PACS). Researchers at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center reported the results in a scientific session at the annual meeting of the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology held in May.
A total of 14 sites were tested between 1998 and 2000. More than 400 separate testing elements were divided into 16 primary categories ranked in order of clinical and technical importance. The components most frequently cited for deficiencies were workstations (25.3% of all citations), RIS/PACS broker interfaces (16.2%), and the RIS itself (14%).
Improvements in software, the development of brokerless interfaces, and widespread use of flat-panel displays could potentially alleviate some of the more common deficiencies.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
