  1. Solution for a Vendor Independent Integration of PACS Clients with MIRC According to IHE TCE AHLERS C, KLOS G, WUNDER K, SCHNEIDER J, DÜBER C, MILDENBERGER P

  2. Situation Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie • Conventional film archives obsolete • Digital content resource for teaching and education in Radiology needed • Electronic systems for storage, retrieving, viewing of radiological images and teaching files are available • Problem: Poor interoperability between clinical workspace and teaching database

  3. Purpose of this project Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie • Development of a software tool for vendor independent integration of PACS clients with radiologic teaching files • Time saving creation of teaching files in clinical routine • Assessment and evaluation of the tool

  4. Methods Implementation of the IHE TCE integration profile (Teaching file and clinical trial export): „Export Selector – A system that allows a user to select one or more instances, series or studies for export… „ TCE Selector: • Image display and selection in PACS client • DICOM send to TCE Selector • GUI to enter keywords and information • Anonymize / pseudonymize • Processing of DICOM instances and content • Generate additional teaching file information (ATFI) and TCE manifests • Send teaching cases with DICOM instances, TCE manifests and ATFI to MIRC for automated generation of teaching files Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie

  5. Methods • Implementation of RadLex categorization system • RSNA project since 2003 • Based on established systems like: ACR Index, SNOMED, UMLS, Fleischner Society Glossaries, DICOM. • All aspects of diagnostic imaging represented:modalities, technique, imaging features, anatomy, pathology. • http://radlex.org Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie

  6. Methods • RadLex is still work in progress and currently not featuring all relevant aspects for breast imaging • Dedicated breast TCE Selector. • Implementation of breast specific indexing system Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie

  14. Results Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie TCE Selector • Compliant with IHE TCE profile • Compatible/adaptable to different teaching file systems • Vendor independent integration with any PACS viewer • Implementation of a widely accepted categorization system • Dedicated version for breast cases • Open source • Robust, simple, easy to use, set up and configure

  15. Results Klinik und Poliklinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Radiologie User acceptance: • Over 500 teaching files within few month parallel to clinical routine, number increasing daily • Additional time consumption of about 5 minutes per case • High user acceptance for personal study, research and teaching purposes
