Improved Radiation Dose Management Solution
By MedImaging International staff writers Posted on 21 Oct 2015 |
A new collaboration between a major medical imaging equipment and solutions manufacturer, and a company offering an industry-leading radiology reporting solution, will provide improved tracking and reporting of radiation exposure resulting from an imaging scan.
The agreement will address increasing concern from patients, clinicians, and healthcare providers about radiation exposure from imaging scans, and increasing pressure to meet new US State, and national radiation dose standards.
The collaboration will help users of the Nuance Communications (Burlington, MA, USA) PowerScribe 360 medical reporting platform import patient radiology dosimetry data from the Royal Philips Healthcare (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) DoseWise Portal.
The collaboration will facilitate recording of radiation dose data from X-Ray, Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners during the normal radiology workflow, in the electronic medical record of patients, preventing transcription errors. The data is then available for use in radiology reports, and for viewing in Radiology Information System (RIS) and other health record systems.
Dominic Siewko, director of clinical dose management, Philips Healthcare, said, "Healthcare providers and radiologists today are under increasing pressure to meet new radiation dose standards, track ongoing exposure and ensure the safety of patients and staff, but many don't know where to start. By combining the Philips DoseWise Portal with Nuance PowerScribe, the industry's most widely used real-time radiology reporting solution; we're aiming to put the best radiation dose management tools into the hands of thousands of clinicians. By integrating advanced technology with improved processes, we're helping radiology transform its care practice."
