ABSTRACT

Background: PACS (Picture archiving and communication systems) and digital imaging (DI) has revolutionized radiology bringing about a paradigm shift in the way radiodiagnosis is perceived and practiced with a slew of benefits like elimination of the need for manual handling of films, helping in long term storage of digital images, easy transfer and retrieval of radiographic images. The objective of this study was to analyse the influence of PACS and digital imaging on the workflow in the radiology, performance of the radiographer and image storage and retrieval capabilities.Methods: It was a questionnaire-based study in which questions were asked to the radiographers working in our hospital at five different working sites. Each questionnaire was aimed to evaluate the effect of digital imaging on radiology workflow, improvement in the performance of radiographers, reduction in the work-related frustration levels due to use of digital imaging and finally the utility of digital imaging in image storage, query and retrieval.Results: Among the 50 questionnaires 41 were completed and retrieved. Among the respondents, 90.24% indicated that digital imaging has obviated the need for repeat examinations, 95.12% agreed with the fact that it resulted in the reduction of the number of reject images, 95.1% said it helped them in improving their performances, 92.6% of the respondents said they did not face any issue with its use and 95.1% of the participants agreed that the image query and retrieval could be accomplished in a hassle-free manner.Conclusions: The digital imaging technique not only improves the performance of the radiographers but also increases the workflow of the health care hospitals or clinics. The digital imaging reduces the number of rejected images thus reducing radiation exposure to the patients. Further, it is highly cost-effective and time-saving.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Osteomyelitis is an intraosseous inflammatory disease characterized by progressive inflammatory osteoclasia and ossification. The use of quantitative analysis to assist interpretation of osteomyelitis is increasingly being considered. The objective of this study was to perform early diagnosis of osteomyelitis on digital panoramic radiographs using basic functions provided by picture archiving and communication system (PACS), a program used to show radiographic images. METHODS: This study targeted a total of 95 patients whose symptoms were confirmed as osteomyelitis under clinical, radiologic, pathological diagnosis over 11 years from 2008 to 2017. Five categorized patients were osteoradionecrosis, bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw (BRONJ, suppurative and sclerosing type), and bacterial osteomyelitis (suppurative and sclerosing type), and the control group was 117 randomly sampled. The photographic density in a certain area of the digital panoramic radiograph was determined and compared using the “measure area rectangle,” one of the basic PACS functions in INFINITT PACS® (INFINITT Healthcare, Seoul, South Korea). A conditional inference tree, one type of decision making tree, was generated with the program R for statistical analysis with SPSS®. RESULTS: In the conditional inference tree generated from the obtained data, cases where the difference in average value exceeded 54.49 and the difference in minimum value was less than 54.49 and greater than 12.81 and the difference in minimum value exceeded 39 were considered suspicious of osteomyelitis. From these results, the disease could be correctly classified with a probability of 88.1%. There was no difference in photographic density value of BRONJ and bacterial osteomyelitis; therefore, it was not possible to classify BRONJ and bacterial osteomyelitis by quantitative analysis of panoramic radiographs based on existing research. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that it is feasible to measure photographic density using a basic function in PACS and apply the data to assist in the diagnosis of osteomyelitis.

ABSTRACT

Main problems for radiology teaching have always been less lectures and weaker imaging knowledge and lower interest of students in traditional Chinese medicine universities.Though "flipped classroom" has become the focus of education reform,and PACS system has become a platform in imaging diagnosis,it is rare to combine the two methods in radiology teaching.This paper mainly introduces features of flipped classroom and PACS system,analyzes the feasibility of combing the two teaching methods,and puts forward the teaching conception.Procedures are as follows.Before class,teachers design teaching objective,prepare teaching material and make the list;students study before class in different groups.During class,students exchange their ideas,start inter-group discussion and use the PACS system for case studies;teachers instruct the key and difficult point.After class,the comprehensive evaluation is conducted.The combining teaching hopes to promote students' learning interest,improve their learning effectiveness,cultivate their self-study ability and broaden their clinical minds.At the same time,this method also can provide experience for radiological teaching reform.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate application of modified isosceles triangle osteotomy which is designed with the assistance of Picture Archiving and Communication System ( PACS ) in supracondylar surgery for cubitus varus. Methods We reviewed the 31 patients who had been treated for cubitus varus from January 2012 to July 2017. They were 12 males and 19 females, aged from 17 to 24 years ( average, 20. 6 years) . Their elbow varus angles ranged from 14° to 35° (average, 22. 4°) . Preoperatively, the modified isosceles triangle osteotomy was designed using the PACS. The angle of osteotomy = carrying angle of the normal arm + the angle of cubitus varus. The lateral length of the isosceles triangle osteotomy was calculated according to the osteotomy angle. All the cases were fixated with a locking plate. Results The follow-ups lasted from 12 to 40 months ( average, 16 months ) . Bony union was achieved in the osteotomy site by all cases after 7 to 12 weeks ( average, 9 weeks ) . The carrying angles ranged from 8° to 15° ( average, 11°) at final follow-ups. The affected elbow obtained a range of flexion and extension from 126° to 150° ( average, 139°) and a range of rotation from 134° to 160° ( 144°) . According to the Mayo elbow performance score ( MEPS ) one year after operation, 23 cases were rated as excellent, 7 as good and one as fair, yielding an excellent to good rate of 96. 8%. No loss of carrying angle, neural deficit, malunion, delayed union, or myositis ossifi-cans of the elbow was observed during the follow-ups. Conclusion The PACS can be used in preoperative design of the modified isosceles triangle osteotomy for cubitus varus, leading to accuracy in the angle and length of the osteotomy to guarantee fine clinical results.

ABSTRACT

Abstract. RIS PACS systems have become indispensable for managing, distributing and archiving digital images. This study evaluated the impact of Computed Tomography in the Clínica Alemana of Santiago's PACS image service. The PACS database was reviewed using IMPAX BI software, and 2,267,683 studies between 2005 and 2014 were examined. Computed Tomography examinations made up 10.67% of the studies archived in PACS, but its weight in TB is 50.10% of the total. The impact of the studies of Computed Tomography were not properly dimensioned or anticipated, which has impacted on the expected availability for one year online studies. This study has adequately assessed the impact of Computed Tomography in PACS’ storage availability, and how it should be considered when planning the implementation of a PACS.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The tip-apex distance (TAD) is used to predict the clinical outcome of intertrochanteric fracture fixation. We aimed to measure the changes in TAD by position and film distance using Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used a femur replica with a 10degrees femoral neck anteversion and a 130degrees neck shaft angle. Proximal femoral nail antirotation nail and a helical blade were inserted into the replica. Radiographs were taken at the neutral position and after applying 10degrees, 20degrees, 30degrees, 40degrees internal/external rotation, 10degrees abduction, and 10degrees and 40degrees adduction to the mechanical axis. Radiographs were taken at the replica-film distance of 10 cm and 20 cm under the same conditions, mimicking the differences in Focus-film distance (FFD), which reflect the patient's contour in clinical settings. A radiologist and an orthopedic surgeon measured the TAD twice using PACS. The average error was 2 mm (4.5%) and the standard error was +/-3.04. TADs in the neutral position constituted the standard values to measure the relative errors. RESULTS: TADs increased with an increase in the external rotation and abduction of the replica. TADs decreased with an increase in the internal rotation and adduction of the replica. For comparable measurements, relative errors were higher at FFDs of 20 cm compared to FFDs of 10 cm. CONCLUSION: Since the femur is internally rotated and adducted for reduction, orthopedic surgeons would assess the lag screw to be closer to the apex of femur on intraoperative radiographs. To have a correct measurement of the TAD after fixation of intertrochanteric fractures, radiographs should be taken in neutral position and measurement errors should be considered based on the patient's size.

ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of China's higher education and the intensified reforms in medical and health services,the problems and contradictions are increasingly prominent in ortho-pedic clinical teaching,especially how to improve medical interns' ability to read images. Picture archiving and communication system (PACS)plays an important role in academic education of medi-cal imaging. Case-based learning (CBL)is a team seminar teaching mode that is guided by cases, based on problems,targeted at students,and dominated by teachers. PACS and CBL were perfectly combined in orthopedic clinical teaching to improve teaching efficiency and the outcome was evaluat-ed through a questionnaire. Results showed that this teaching method inspired students' interests in learning,cultivated the orthopedic clinical way of thinking thus achieved better teaching effects.

ABSTRACT

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study. PURPOSE: The main purpose of this study was to clarify the range of magnification errors on digital plain radiographs and to determine if there is a correlation between the body mass index (BMI) of a patient and the magnification error. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: Most clinicians currently use digital plain radiography. This new method allows one to access images and measure lengths and angles more easily than with the past technologies. In addition, conventional plain radiography has magnification errors. Although few articles mention magnification errors in regards to digital radiographs, they are known to have the same errors. METHODS: We used plain digital radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to acquire images of the cervical spine with the goal of evaluating magnification errors by measuring the anteroposterior vertebral body lengths of C2 and C5. The magnification error (ME) was then calculated: ME=(length on radiograph-length on MRI)/length on MRI x100 (%). The correlation coefficient between the magnification error and BMI was obtained using Pearson's correlation analysis. RESULTS: Average magnification errors in C2 and C5 were approximately 18.5%+/-5.4% (range, 0%-30%) and 20.7%+/-6.3% (range, 1%-32%). There was no positive correlation between BMI and the magnification error. CONCLUSIONS: There were magnification errors on the digital plain radiographs, and they were different in each case. Maximum magnification error differences were 30% (C2) and 31% (C5). Based on these finding, clinicians must pay attention to magnification errors when measuring lengths using digital plain radiography.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The ability to support healthcare document sharing is imperative in a health information exchange (HIE). Sharing imaging documents or images, however, can be challenging, especially when they are stored in a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) archive that does not support document sharing via standard HIE protocols. This research proposes a standard-compliant imaging gateway that enables connectivity between a legacy PACS and the entire HIE. METHODS: Investigation of the PACS solutions used at Gil Hospital was conducted. An imaging gateway application was then developed using a Java technology stack. Imaging document sharing capability enabled by the gateway was tested by integrating it into Gil Hospital's order communication system and its HIE infrastructure. RESULTS: The gateway can acquire radiology images from a PACS storage system, provide and register the images to Gil Hospital's HIE for document sharing purposes, and make the images retrievable by a cross-enterprise document sharing document viewer. CONCLUSIONS: Development of an imaging gateway that mediates communication between a PACS and an HIE can be considered a viable option when the PACS does not support the standard protocol for cross-enterprise document sharing for imaging. Furthermore, the availability of common HIE standards expedites the development and integration of the imaging gateway with an HIE.

ABSTRACT

Within six months of the discovery of X-ray in 1895, the technology was used to scan the interior of the human body, paving the way for many innovations in the field of medicine, including an ultrasound device in 1950, a CT scanner in 1972, and MRI in 1980. More recent decades have witnessed developments such as digital imaging using a picture archiving and communication system, computer-aided detection/diagnosis, organ-specific workstations, and molecular, functional, and quantitative imaging. One of the latest technical breakthrough in the field of radiology has been imaging genomics and robotic interventions for biopsy and theragnosis. This review provides an engineering perspective on these developments and several other megatrends in radiology.
