Description of activity and work performed
The platform for reporting with SR templates has been described in earlier papers (1).
This diagnostic solution is compatible with the IHE MRRT profile (Management of Radiology Report Templates).
Templates developed by scientific societies (ESR,
RSNA,
DRG and others) can be used as well as self-developed templates.
When the templates are imported into the diagnostic solution,
database entries are automatically created for all fields in the backend of the diagnostic solution.
Based on this development,
a module has been developed that automatically receives and evaluates the DOSE reports from the examination devices.
This allows the dose values of the individual series to be automatically displayed and taken into account in the context of the findings.
In addition,
a further module for Quality Assurance is integrated,
with which the image quality can be evaluated with regard to the signal-to-noise behaviour as well as the reliability of the diagnosis with a minimum of effort.
The combination of findings,
dose exposure and image quality is then recorded in the underlying database and can be easily used for further scientific evaluations.
