Development and preliminary application of integrated ultrasound image management system based on DICOM standard / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective By developing ultrasound picture archiving and communication system(PACS),to implement networking of ultrasound imaging equipment, central image storage and standardization of computer-aided diagnosis report.Methods Ultrasound image workstation was develop to acquire, display, manipulate and print ultrasound static and dynamic images using C++ computer language. Also, all ultrasound equipments in department formed the DICOM network . Central image server and ultrasound information system server we re connected together with all workstations by computer Ethernet network, thus, using switch, and connecting to hospital internet WWW server to distribut the image and report. Results Ultrasound DICOM digital images and high quality video image successfully acquired, displayed, processed and network communicated, seamless integrated with hospital information system, functions such as image central storage, computer-aided report and sharing printing were implemented. Conclusions Application of ultrasound image management system improves the administration and increases work efficiency in imaging diagnosis, promotes the reform of working pattern of doctors and provides more convenience for work, research and study. Image systems highly increase the level of patient care service. Standardization of medical reports computer-aided is superior to handwritten report.

Clinical application of color Doppler ultrasound-guided compression and injection treatment of postangiographic pseudoaneurysms / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective To investigate the methods and evaluate their efficacy of pseudoaneurysms by color Doppler ultrasound guided compression and injection treatment.Methods Twenty patients with seventeen femoral artery pseudoaneurysms and three subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms underwent compression and injection treatment with color Doppler ultrasound guided.Results Simple compression method presented a successful rate of 86%(12 out of 14 patients).Two with subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms were injected with medical OB glue,as a result,one had a hard knot in the lesion after treatment,the other was thrombosed in the remote artery.Thrombin injection achieved the rate of success 100%, 4 in 4 patients.Conclusions Color Doppler ultrasound guided compression and thrombin injection is a simple,safe and effective method for the treatment of postangiographic pseudoaneurysms,but medical OB glue injection may bring about complications.
