DACS : - VenusDose Integration HL7 Dicom
DACS :
HL7 interface to RIS Get the list of the scheduled procedures and trigger email alerts for patients with many procedures in a short period of time Dose info sent to reports automatically
HL7 and DICOM connection to PACS Prefetch patients dose history before Venus Dose installation (from dose reports stored in the PACS)
DACS : - VenusDose Features Dose
DACS : - Manual data records. - Efficient dose configuration base on modality (CT, RX, NM, PT, ). - Send dose to RIS for report insertion. - Alert threshold for over patient dose. - Skin Burn Level record.
- Exposure type :
Calculation rules are provided by ICPR or can be customized
Alert configuration base on national level or site leval
Computed Tomography (1/2) Acquisition protocol, Body Area, Dose Length Product, and CT Dose Index are retrieved from DICOM SR or from secondary captures using OCR
Computed Tomography (2/2) Effective Dose is computed accordingly to the body area and the patient age
Interventional radiology (1/2) Dose Area Product and dose at the reference point are sent by the modality through DICOM SR or MPPS
Interventional radiology (2/2) DAP and dose at the reference point for each exposure event X-ray tube position recorded Synthesis for scopy and imaging
Mammography and radiolography Average Dose to the Gland for digital mammographs Entrance Dose for analogic systems ESAK estimation
Nuclear Medicine Injected activity and radiopharmaceutical retrieved from the hotlab via HL7 Effective Dose computed accordingly
Patient follow-up Dose exposure history by body area and by type of exposure in a range of date Effective Dose addition
Customizable e-mail alerts when the dose exceeds the Diagnostic Reference Levels Embedded DICOM web viewer provides access to the images for further investigation (in case of alert)
Size Specific Dose Estimates for dose correction base on scout image
