Radiology triage system improves urgent care
An automated triage system (ARTS) is helping radiologists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center move quickly on studies requiring immediate attention.
An automated triage system (ARTS) is helping radiologists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center move quickly on studies requiring immediate attention.
To assure that studies of the most critically ill patients are interpreted first, Cincinnati Children's developed a department-wide automated radiology triage system, which was described at the 2005 SCAR meeting. The system allows technologists to indicate the level of urgency for each patient. ARTS also provides a mechanism for technologists and radiologists to communicate about patients requiring immediate attention. It constantly updates the active radiologist work list, ensuring that studies are read in an order more appropriate than first-in, first-out.
ARTS offers a snapshot view of all active patients and includes a time-to-report function that allows technologists and front desk staff to keep patients informed of the time remaining to completion of their study interpretation.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
