Radiology information systems

Radiology information systemsThe Royal College of Radiologists Board of the Faculty of Clinical Radiology This guidance is only available electronically from www.rcr.ac.uk Radiology information systems © The Royal College of Radiologists, April 2008 2 Version 1.0 This guidance forms part of a series on the developments in information technology in radiology. This is a fast-moving field and developments are occurring rapidly. Consequently, this guidance will be updated regularly and readers should check regularly that they are using the most up-to-date guidance available.

© The Royal College of Radiologists, April 2008 3 Version 1.0 These guidelines aim to help the radiologist pick out the important features in a radiology information system (RIS) which should be examined prior to any RIS procurement (even if the RIS is combined with picture archiving and communication systems [PACS] as a single product). A RIS is a computer system designed to support operational workflow and business analysis within a radiology department. A RIS is also a repository of patient data and reports, and contributes to the electronic patient record. As RIS have evolved, their application has widened to include other departments and imaging specialties such as nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, endoscopy and so on. Where a RIS supports these additional specialties, it may be more accurately described as an imaging information system (IIS). 1. Functional requirements 1.1 A RIS supports a wide range of functional requirements which overlap with functionality provided by other hospital information systems and PACS (for example, appointment scheduling, work lists and digital dictation). In an integrated solution, it is acceptable for other systems to provide this functionality providing the overall operational workflow and business analysis requirements are satisfied by the integrated solution. 2. User access...

Resume vs CV Handout

Resume vs CV HandoutCurriculum Vitae (CV) 414.288.7423 „ career.services@marquette.edu „ www.marquette.edu/csc „ Holthusen Hall, 1st floor G raduate students earning master's degrees go about the job search in a very similar manner to a stu- dent graduating with a bachelor's degree. The candidate must prepare a professional resume and cover letter, practice interviewing skills and do a thorough job search. For master candidates going into areas other than teaching, health care or social work, a one or two page resume works best. Graduate

candidates may want to prepare a resume with a “profile” section instead of an “Objective” depending on their background and present career path. Depending on the amount of experience a graduate candidate has, he or she may still want to prepare a one-page re- sume as many recruiters in the business world prefer one page. However, two pages is quite accept- able as long as there is ample information to fill most of two pages and none of the information is re- dundant. For master or PhD candidates going into teaching, health care or social work and possibly other areas such as research, a CV (curriculum vita) should be prepared instead of a resume. A CV is a longer ver- sion of a resume that includes much more information such as teaching competencies, publications, seminars or workshops presented at, conferences attended, pro bono activities, etc. How to Write a Curriculum Vitae: Curriculum Vitae are Still Resumes Despite their venerable name, curriculum vitae are simply a specific sort of resume, the style preferred by candidates for medical, academic, teaching, and research positions. Most of these candidates have an educational background directly related to the positions they seek, so education is always...

Digital Preservation in Radiology

Digital Preservation in Radiology.briefing paper The rapid technological changes in today's information landscape have considerably turned the preservation of digital information into a pressing challenge. Be it digital images, documents, audio or video files, all require particular attendance when it comes to preserving them for long periods of time. Without appropriate measures, digital objects will be inaccessible in a very short time. A lot of different strategies often depending on the application area have been proposed to tackle this challenge. In medical imaging

considerably large digital objects are produced, processed and archived in a networked environment where parts of the collection also have to be made accessible at short notice. In many European countries hospitals, radiologists and private clinics have the legal obligation to archive data for 30 years. Different standards for communication and storage exist in radiology including DICOM and HL7 to accomplish these high demands. However, additional efforts may be required to establish trusted repositories by utilizing risk assessment and compliance auditing for the respective archival systems. Introduction Systems managing patient information in general and medical images in particular have to meet high demands, from the medical point of view. Such systems must guarantee the accessibility of their stored information for very long periods of time due to strict legal obligations. In many countries radiographic images must be retained for 7 years, and 30 years respectively if they are relevant for diagnosis. In medical imaging, devices for storage and presentation of images are called PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems); they communicate according to specific protocols and store data in an independent format. The most common format used for storing, handling, transmitting and printing is DICOM (Digital Imaging and COmmunications in...
