Medical Imaging Informatics

This blog provides information on conferences and novelties in the area of Medical Imaging Informatics (MII). MII has a broad scope ranging from the Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to Advanced Visualization and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). To find new opportunities in healthcare we need to look at informatics solutions in other areas to apply them into the medical field to achieve higher level healthcare at lower costs.

IHE TCE profile in combination with Mirc

A couple of weeks ago we threw a setup together to demonstrate the TCE profile for setting up teaching files.
By combining a TCE Selector and Mirc (both to be obtained from the RSNA Mirc wiki) together with KPacs ( free PACS archive and viewer) running on a couple of simple PCs we got a easy setup for making teaching files. From the PACS viewer a direct DICOM send can be done to the locally installed TCE selector which allows additional information entry in a pop-up. Subsequently, the data is tranfered to the Mirc system and instantly available in the teaching file.
