Pune, Maharashtra, India Vikash Ojha MD (Radiology) Consultant Radiology Department of Radio-Diagnosis Apollo Jehangir Hospital Pune, Maharashtra, India Preface Chest X-ray is the most commonly requisitioned film in any medical establishment and continues to be the most informative film due to availability of tissue contrast provided by air in the lungs; consequently, the approach to understanding chest X-ray is important In routine, reporting practice often the technical quality is below perfect, such films have also been included in this collection to expose the reader to actual life situation Contrast studies, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography in many cases complement the plain film to provide perfect diagnosis This book is steal a look into chest imaging in an easy and understandable manner This assemblage of images will be useful to all residents entering the domain of any medical specialization and to any general practitioner or specialist in the field of medicine Hariqbal Singh Miscellaneous Cluster Fig 14.16  Calcified guinea worm (Dracunculiasis medinencis) Fig 14.17  Left plural

System Picture archiving and communications system (PACS), is based on universal DICOM (Digital imaging and communications in medicine) format DICOM solutions are capable of storing and retrieving multimodality images in a proficient and secure manner in assisting and improving hospital workflow and patient diagnosis (Fig 14.29) PACS helps in eliminating paper requisition forms and radiology reports The aim of PACS is to replace conventional radiographs and reports with a completely electronic network, these digital images can be viewed on monitors in the radiology department, emergency rooms, inpatient and outpatient departments, thus saving time, improving efficiency of hospital and avoid incurring the cost of hard copy images in a busy hospital The three basic means of rendering plain radiographs images to digital are computed radiography (CR) using photostimulable phosphor plate technology; direct digital radiography (DDR) 197 198 Chest Radiology Fig 14.29  PACS flow chart and digiti­zing conventional analog films Nonimage data, such as scanned documents like PDF (portable document format) is also incorporated in DICOM format Dictation of reports can be integrated into the system The recording is automatically sent to a transcript writer’s workstation for typing, but it can also be made available for access by physicians, avoiding typing delays for urgent results Among all clinical specialties, radiology has led the way in developing PACS to its present high standards PACS consists of four major components: the imaging mod­a­lities such as radiography, computed radiography, endo­scopy, mammography, ultrasound, CT, PET-CT and MRI, a secured network for the transmission of Miscellaneous Cluster patient information, workstations for interpreting and reviewing images and archives for the storage and retrieval of images and reports Backup copies of patient images are also provisioned in case of image lost from the PACS There are several methods for backup storage of images, but they typically involve automatically sending copies of the images to a separate computer for storage, preferably off-site In PACS no patient is irradiated simply because a previous radiograph or CT scan has been lost; the image once acquired onto the PACS is always available when needed Simultaneous multilocation viewing of the same image is possible on any workstation connected to the PACS Numerous postprocessing soft copy manipulations are possible on the viewing monitor Film packets are no longer an issue as PACS as it provides a film less solution for all images PACS can be integrated into the local area network and images from remote villages sent to the tertiary hospital for reporting PACS is an expensive investment initially but the costs can be recovered over a years period It requires a dedicated maintenance It is important to train the doctors, technicians, nurses and other staff to use PACS effectively Once PACS is fully operational, no films are issued to patients PACS breaks the physical and time barriers associated with traditional film-based image retrieval, distribution, and display PACS can be linked to the internet, leading to teleradiology, the advantages of which are that images can be reviewed from home when on call, can provide linkage between two or more hospitals, outsourcing of imaging examinations in understaffed hospitals PACS is offered by virtually all the major medical imaging equipment manufacturers, medical IT companies and many independent software companies 199 Index Page
