  1. Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise Nuclear Medicine Image - NM Dr. Jerry Wallis (SNM) IHE Radiology Technical Cmte Kevin O’Donnell (Toshiba Corp.) Co-Chair, IHE Radiology Planning Cmte IHE Interoperability Workshop

  2. Nuclear Medicine Image - NM Charge Posting Presentation of Grouped Procedures Reporting Workflow KeyImageNotes Simple Image & Numeric Reports NMImage NMImage Consistent Present-ation of Images EvidenceDocs Access to Radiology Information Portable Data for Imaging Scheduled Workflow - Patient Info. Recon-ciliation Post-Processing Workflow Basic Security IHE Interoperability Workshop

  3. NM Image – The Problem • DICOM NM objects are different and support in products is inconsistent • NM clinical display practices are different and support in products is inconsistent • Clinical Analysis Programs are used extensively (particularly for Cardiology), but no support for distribution and display of those Result Screens • NM Users are not adept at getting these requirements accurately included in RFPs • Vendors (especially of general purpose systems) are not adept at accurately representing their support for such features IHE Interoperability Workshop

  4. Understood by dedicated NM systems Often Misunderstood by general storage and display systems Multiframe Dynamic Anterior Posterior Multi-energy NM Image Format NM Image • Image vectors IHE Interoperability Workshop

  5. NM Image NM PACS IHE Interoperability Workshop

  6. NM Image NM PACS IHE Interoperability Workshop

  7. NM Image Click and move mouse down to adjust window level, right to adjust window center IHE Interoperability Workshop

  8. NM – The Solution • New Profile • for Users to request and Vendors to claim • No New Actors or Transactions • Additional requirements on existing actors and transactions • Two New Options • New Informative Text in Vol. 1 • Clarifications of NM Workflow mapping to SWF • Explanation of NM Data • Explanations of NM Clinical Display concepts • New Normative Text in Vol. 2 • <See Following Slides> • Connectathon to help test and confirm IHE Interoperability Workshop

  9. NM – Actors and Transactions IHE Interoperability Workshop

  10. NM Image Profile • Acquisition Modalities (Modality Images Stored [8]) • Create NM objects as specified (additional attribute & vector handling) • Include specific codes in Cardiac studies • Evidence Creators (Creator Images Stored [18]) • Create NM objects as specified (additional attribute & vector handling) • Include specific codes in Cardiac studies • Image Manager/Archives • Store/Retrieve NM & Secondary Capture (SC & MFSC) Objects • Image Displays (Retrieve Images [16]) • Display NM and Secondary Capture (SC & MFSC) Images • Support specified display capabilities IHE Interoperability Workshop

  11. Result Screen Export Option Provides storage, retrieval and display of Static and Dynamic Result Screens • Based on the following DICOM Objects: • Secondary Capture • Multi-Frame Grayscale Byte Secondary Capture • Multi-Frame True Color Secondary Capture • Evidence Creators • Generate appropriate Secondary Capture objects from any Result Screens created. IHE Interoperability Workshop

  12. Review Option Adds requirements to the Image Display to allow Review of NM Images • Image Displays • Must additionally support MPR Display, more frames, different series types together, etc. IHE Interoperability Workshop

  13. PACS  NM Workstation ? • No ! • No filtering • No ROI • No TAC • No renal, lung … processing • No reframing • No cardiac processing IHE Interoperability Workshop

  14. Image Display • Support separate adjustment of upper and lower window levels • Show multiple cines • Display grayscale and color result screens • Display dynamic result screens • Apply local color tables to grayscale screens • Add color tables to system • Change intensity of grayscale result screens • (strongly recommended) IHE Interoperability Workshop

  15. Image Display • Must use “intelligent” scaling to avoid presenting postage-stamp size NM images • Just because it was acquired at 64x64 doesn’t mean they want to review it at 64x64 IHE Interoperability Workshop

  16. Image Display • Must use “intelligent” scaling to avoid presenting postage-stamp size NM images • Must allow the user to select different vectors/framesets of complex multi-frame images • Must allow the user to separately adjust intensity for different framesets (eg, phases) in the same “image” IHE Interoperability Workshop

  17. Display Formats • Grid display • One image set • Fit display • Multiple image sets • Comparison display • Multiple image sets IHE Interoperability Workshop

  18. Multiple Cines IHE Interoperability Workshop

  19. Multiple Cines IHE Interoperability Workshop
