[Establishment and application of DR automatic system based on DICOM3.0 BPE]

Area of Science:

• Medical Imaging Informatics
• Radiology Workflow Optimization
• Digital Health Transformation

Background:

• Traditional radiology workflows face challenges with manual data handling and system integration.
• The need for seamless data flow between Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), Hospital Information Systems (HIS), and Radiology Information Systems (RIS) is critical for efficiency.
• Digital transformation in healthcare requires integrated systems for streamlined operations.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce and evaluate a novel application of PACS integrated with HIS and RIS in a hospital setting.
• To demonstrate the benefits of digital transformation across all stages of the radiology workflow.
• To optimize the retrieval of examination areas and automatic parameter adjustment in digital radiography (DR).

Main Methods:

• Integration of PACS, HIS, and RIS to create a unified digital workflow.
• Configuration of DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) functional modules for 'Body Parts Examined'.
• Establishing a direct link between PACS and DR systems for automated image retrieval and parameter adjustment.

Main Results:

• Successful implementation of a digitally transformed radiology workflow.
• Automated retrieval of inspection areas by DR equipment based on PACS data.
• Automatic adjustment of equipment parameters, leading to a significant optimization of the workflow.
• Demonstrated substantial improvements in overall departmental efficiency.

Conclusions:

• The integration of PACS, HIS, and RIS enables comprehensive digital transformation in radiology departments.
• Automated image retrieval and parameter adjustment significantly enhance workflow efficiency and operational performance.
• This integrated system represents a key advancement in modernizing medical imaging services.
