DeJarnette Offers Answer to CT Linked Studies Problem.Business Editors RSNA RSNA Radiological Society of North America, Inc. RSNA Robust Security Network Association 2002 Booth #2932 TOWSON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2002 A problem that has been a point of discussion within DICOM (medical, standard) DICOM - (From Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) A standard developed by ACR-NEMA (American College of Radiology - National Electrical Manufacturer's Association) for communications between medical imaging devices. and IHE IHE Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise IHE Institutions of Higher Education IHE International Institute for Infrastructural, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (historical acronym only, replaced by: IHE Delft, the Foundation) has been addressed by a new development from DeJarnette Research Systems, Inc., known for its PACS (Picture ArChiving System) A storage and management system for high-resolution images. Typically pertaining to the medical field, images such as X-rays, MRIs and CAT scans require a greater amount of storage than other industries. connectivity expertise. New high-speed CT scanners create images in record time. However, the scanner may image the patient from neck to pelvis in a single acquisition while the RIS RIS rabies inhibiting substance. has created two or more orders for these exams. A PACS now has to deal with a greater number of orders than studies created by the modality. In the current mode of operation, there is no way to separate the studies in order to bill the patient correctly or store the correct images with the correct report. Breakaway is a new DeJarnette product that solves this "linked study" problem by separating the CT study into distinct procedures using a sophisticated algorithm that analyzes image histogram information. The study "breakup" is done automatically without intervention by a technologist or PACS administrator. DeJarnette will preview the Breakaway solution at the DeJarnette booth #2932 at RSNA 2002.
