2. 2 Mammography ImageThe Problem/Assumptions What’s the big deal?
Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) is just another modality to PACS
Most existing PACS will handle FFDM fine once:
the FDA approves the monitor hardware,
and workstations have 510K approval for FFDM applications
3. 3 Mammography ImageNot just another modality! What makes it different or challenging:
Two types of image data
Variances among vendors in image data and attributes
Common use of CAD (Computer Aided Detection)
Importance of prior study comparisons
Image size, orientation, & layout
Regional governance such as MQSA (Mammography Quality Standards Act – USA)
4. 4 Mammography ImageUse Case
5. 5 Hanging Protocol DifferencesExample Preferred Layout
6. 6 Generic Image Display LayoutsApplied to Mammo Images
7. 7 Variances in FFDM Vendor DataDetector Size Example
8. 8 Workstation Tool EnhancementsTissue vs. Air Detection Example
9. 9 Printing ConsiderationsTrue Size
10. 10 Printing ConsiderationsPositioning-minimal borders at chestwall
11. 11 Mammography Image IntegrationValue proposition Helps meet desire to have multiple FFDM vendors and use any vendor’s workstation for diagnosis
Ensures that FFDM modalities provide adequate information to facilitate downstream applications
12. 12 Mammography Image IntegrationValue proposition Ensures systems support required data objects for interoperability
Defines image display and printing operations required for effective and efficient diagnoses
13. 13 Mammography Image IntegrationScope Based upon existing actors and transactions
Expanded requirements within each transaction
14. 14 Mammography Image IntegrationScope
15. 15 Mammography ImageExpanded Requirements Acquisition Modality
Send both for processing and for presentation images with reference that ties them together
Additionally required DICOM attributes
Detection and indication of tissue vs. air gap
Partial View Option (breast is larger than detector)
Modified requirements for film digitizers
16. 16 Mammography ImageExpanded Requirements Image Display
Hanging protocols based upon view, laterality, patient orientation, and specialty views
Maintain a black air gap during window/center operations and inverted pixel data
Sizing
Same relative size
True size
1:1 detector pixels to display pixels
17. 17 Mammography ImageExpanded Requirements Image Display cont’d
Measurement calculation requirements
Display calibration and grayscale rendering
Labeling requirements
Mammo CAD Structured Report rendering on “for presentation” images
Partial View Option (breast larger than detector)
18. 18 Mammography ImageExpanded Requirements Image Manager
Storage and retrieval of For Presentation and For Processing SOP Classes for Digital Mammography X-Ray
Storage and retrieval of Mammography CAD Structured Report SOP Class
19. 19 Mammography ImageExpanded Requirements Evidence Creator (CAD)
Support for Mammography CAD SR SOP Class and Storage Commitment
No specifics on how Evidence Creator obtains mammography images
20. 20 Mammography ImageExpanded Requirements Print Composers/Print Servers
True Size printing (Requested Image Size)
Justify chestwall and print with 5mm borders or less
Render VOI LUTS if present
Specify/Support maximum density
Specify/Support Presentation LUT
Labeling requirements
Support for 12 bit pixel depth
