Automating the transfer
of patient data to modalities
In today's medical institutions, efficient and accurate data transfer is crucial for patient care and operational workflow. Most facilities utilize Hospital Information Systems (HIS) or Radiology Information Systems (RIS) to store patient demographics and exam scheduling information. This data is essential during the image acquisition phase, as digital acquisition devices need comprehensive patient and study information to correctly embed it into the digital images they generate.
Traditionally, this process required technicians to manually enter patient demographics into the modality’s console, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. The DICOM Modality Worklist (MWL) service revolutionizes this process by enabling automated, reliable, and error-free data transfer from any data source directly to the imaging modalities. This standardized method is supported by almost all manufacturers of digital DICOM modalities.
Our software, DICOMMod, is specifically designed to implement this essential DICOM service, ensuring seamless integration and efficient workflow. By automating the transfer of patient data, DICOMMod not only enhances accuracy but also significantly reduces the workload on technicians, allowing them to focus more on patient care.
