Radiology Information System Improves Productivity

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 14 Dec 2006

A new radiology information system's (RIS) features include: enterprise-wide scheduling capabilities, easy and efficient scheduling interface, and a web portal that includes scheduling and viewing of patient reports.

The RIS also has appointment cancellation tracking and simple rescheduling of exams, real-time patient status tracking, workflow management across the enterprise, embedded dictation/ voice recognition, a robust report editor for transcription, integrated billing and mammography tracking, auto-faxing/email of diagnostic reports, film tracking for outside films (incoming and outgoing), and extensive management and marketing reports. More...

InStar Systems International, Inc. (Colorado Springs, CO, USA), a provider of a range of radiology practice management systems for the diagnostic imaging industry, will present its RIS at the Radiological Society of North America's (RSNA) annual conference in Chicago (IL, USA) in November 2006.

InStar's RIS is a .NET application that is SQL server-based. With this RIS, users are able to maximize income, enhance profitability, improve productivity, and provide relationship-based service to their customers.

$Image: Mass General Brigham researchers developed two AI tools from one foundation model (called FAHR-Face) that can estimate biological age and predict cancer survival outcomes from a single face photo. The image on the left depicts the features most important to FAHR-FaceSurvival\'s predictions of cancer survival outcomes, while the image on the right shows the features most important to FAHR-FaceAge\'s estimates of biological age. Areas shown in yellow had the greatest influence on each model\'s predictions. (Photo courtesy of Mass General Brigham/Lancet Digital Health)$

$Image: Purdue University physicist David Nolte is developing a biodynamic imaging system that could improve the care of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Nolte\'s system can rapidly evaluate the outcome of different chemotherapy drugs on patient biopsies (obtained during diagnosis), which could ensure patients get the chemotherapy treatment that would be most effective on their specific tumor. Right now, the system is being used at the Indiana University School of Medicine to evaluate the impact of experimental chemotherapy drugs on tumor cells derived from more than 30 osteosarcoma patients. It has also been used in clinical and preclinical trials. (IMage Credit: Purdue University/Kelsey Lefever)$

Optical Imaging System Helps Predict Chemotherapy Response in Cancer

Selecting chemotherapy can be difficult because tumors from different patients may respond differently to the same drug. Testing treatment effects directly on living tumor tissue could help clinicians... Read more
