System reduces need for phone consultations
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have devised an Internet-based application that serves as an order-entry, reporting, and workflow manager during off-hours.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have devised an Internet-based application that serves as an order-entry, reporting, and workflow manager during off-hours.
The system, which provides an organized environment to obtain radiology consultations, is called 3RADS for the Hopkins radiology on-call pager number. It is documented in the March issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology (2005; 184[3]:1017-1020).
3RADS was initially used for overnight radiology workflow management, but its widespread availability and ease of access made it so popular among radiologists and clinicians that the developers expanded the system. It began as a FileMaker database running on a Pentium-based 90-MHz processor with 32 MB of RAM but has been upgraded to a more robust ColdFusion platform with an Access database.
When the system went live in January 2004, radiologists were receiving an average of 35 study requests per night shift, and clinicians were viewing preliminary reports an average of 63 times a day. If only half of the viewed preliminary reports averted a telephone call that month, the night radiologist would have had 66 fewer pages to answer.
Emerging Perspectives on PSMA PET Radiotracers: An Interview with Kenneth J. Pienta, MD
April 24th 2024In a recent interview, Kenneth J. Pienta, M.D., discussed the impact of piflufolastat F18, current directions in research with other PSMA-targeted radiotracers and future possibilities for the role of PSMA PET in the imaging paradigm for prostate cancer.
Study Reveals Benefits of Photon-Counting CT for Assessing Acute Pulmonary Embolism
April 23rd 2024In comparison to energy-integrating detector CT for the workup of suspected acute pulmonary embolism, the use of photon-counting detector CT reduced radiation dosing by 48 percent, according to newly published research.
