MediaWorkStation DICOM Integration Option – DICOM Worklist Connectivity
DICOM Option as Interface for Clinical Workflow
The DICOM Worklist integration with the MediaWorkStation Classic software enables secure, standardized image and information workflows across medical systems.
PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System):
A PACS is a digital system that stores, retrieves, and distributes medical imaging data. It improves access to medical images and seamlessly integrates them into clinical workflows.
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine):
DICOM is an international standard for storing, transmitting, and displaying medical imaging data. It defines formats and protocols that ensure interoperability between systems and devices.
DICOM Worklist:
- A DICOM Worklist is used to transmit scheduled tasks to imaging devices.
- It automatically provides patient data, examination information, and schedules directly to the devices.
- The goal is to minimize manual data entry, reduce errors, and enhance workflow efficiency.
DICOM Store:
- The DICOM Store function enables the storage and transmission of medical images and associated information.
- Imaging devices send the acquired data to the PACS via the DICOM Store interface for archiving and further processing.
Key Benefits:
- Centralized access to worklists via PACS, allowing direct integration of patient data into imaging devices.
- Storage and transfer of medical images to PACS for future analysis, documentation, and archiving.
This functionality enhances workflow efficiency and data accuracy, reduces administrative tasks, and ensures smooth integration of imaging data into clinical systems.
