Summary
This study introduces an integrated module to automatically collect radiation dose data from Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). This facilitates structured reporting and radiation dose monitoring, enhancing medical quality and productivity.
Area of Science:
- Medical Physics
- Radiology Informatics
Background:
- Accurate radiation dose collection is crucial for radiation protection and structured reporting in medical imaging.
- Radiation dose data is often stored in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and not directly usable by Radiological Information Systems (RIS).
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an integration reporting module for seamless handling of radiation dose information.
- To enhance the process of structured reporting by incorporating dose data.
Main Methods:
- Developed a gateway to automatically collect radiation dose information from PACS.
- Integrated dose data collection with structured reporting patterns for radiologists.
Main Results:
- Automated collection of radiation dose data from PACS.
- Enabled radiologists to access dose measurements within structured reports.
- Eliminated the need for manual data entry, improving efficiency.
Conclusions:
- The proposed integration module effectively bridges PACS and RIS for dose information.
- Automated dose data collection and structured reporting increase productivity and medical quality.

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

5.6K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Documentation is the systematic process of formally recording, maintaining, and communicating information.
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.

18.9K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
