The integration of computer conferencing into the medical school curriculum.

A computer conference was developed for use with students, faculty, and staff at a large state-funded medical school. The conference was intended to increase communication among these groups which study, work, and train at a variety of locations across the state. To date, 583 participants (91% are students, 6% are faculty, and 2% are staff) have discussed a variety of academic, ethical, social, and administrative issues. Conference use is required during the obstetrics-gynecology third year clerkship, and has also been used to evaluate courses and critique course examinations. The procedures for creating a computer conference, implementing its use in the curriculum, and evaluating its effectiveness are discussed.

EuroPACS: a catalyst for PACS in Europe.

The EuroPACS organization and its intended role in PACS development in Europe is briefly described. EuroPACS was initiated at Braunlage FRG, August 1984. Its aim is to stimulate mutual contacts between various groups in Europe being active in the PACS field. Its main activities are: organization of EuroPACS conferences (once or twice per year), publication of a newsletter and organization of special sessions in larger congresses.

Teleradiology at Gunma University Hospital.

Using NEC MediFile 1000 and the public telephone system, the Department of Radiology of Gunma University Hospital and Saitama Medical School deliver image diagnosis to fellow clinicians and affiliated hospitals. The system consists of digitizing, filing, processing, retrieving and archiving units for radiographs and documents. Images were digitized by CCD and filed in 2 Gbyte double sided optical disk, which can accommodate 500 sheets of 14 x 17 films on 1500 of the smallest size slats without data compression. Image resolution was evaluated by ROC curve using multiple pulmonary nodules. The time taken for image transfer over 24 km was tested with various film sizes, image varieties and data compression rates.

Background of the demonstrated IMAGIS activities and future expectations.

In The Netherlands a national PACS development programme has been started, supported by the Dutch Society of Radiology and funded by the Dutch Department of Health because of the national character of the project. Three main partners are cooperating in this development: the Utrecht University Hospital (AZU), BAZIS and Philips International (Product Division Medical Systems), with the Delft University of Technology as the main BAZIS subcontractor. The non-profit foundation BAZIS, developing and supporting the ZIS Hospital Information System (in use in some 30 Dutch hospitals, over 15,000 acute beds), initiated its current IMAGe Information System (IMAGIS) projects in 1984. The activities were later integrated into the Dutch PACS project started in 1986. The final goal of the project is to achieve a PACS which is fully integrated with already existing hospital information systems (HIS). The development and operation of a HIS-PACS include many aspects of technical and clinical. The current efforts of BAZIS are concentrated on three main issues: diagnostic image quality evaluation (e.g. effects of data compression); modelling, software simulation and technology assessment of a prototype PACS (both general and detailed aspects); and coupling and integration of PACS and HIS (e.g. the BAZIS ZIS). Philips, Hamburg, is supplying equipment, particularly prototype components. A systematic clinical evaluation will take place at the Utrecht University Hospital.2+ We outline the background of the intermediate results as demonstrated during the 6th EuroPACS Conference:the psychophysical software package for Feature Evaluation And System Inspection By Logged Experiments (FEASIBLE); the modelling and simulation software package for Medical Image Representation, Archiving and Communication, Learned by Extensive Simulation (MIRACLES); and first results of the coupling experiments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Prediction and analysis of PACS performance with the simulation tool MIRACLES.

Since the construction of image information systems appears to be extremely difficult in practice, BAZIS has decided to use computer modelling and simulation as decision support tools. In order to support the construction of simulation models, the simulation package and modelling environment MIRACLES (Medical Image Representation, Archiving and Communication Learned from Extensive Simulation) has been developed by BAZIS. This paper describes modelling and simulation techniques in general, as well as the benefits of simulation within the scope of designing Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). In order to illustrate the theory, results of a concrete yet simple PACS, which has been simulated with MIRACLES, will be described and discussed.

HIS-PACS coupling: BAZIS/ZIS and Philips/MARCOM on speaking terms.

Nowadays a growing number of experts in the PACS field agree on the necessity of having an integrated HIS-PACS combination available in modern hospitals in order to manage the enormous amounts of patient data, both textual, numerical and image information, in an effective way. Since 1986 BAZIS (the Development and Support Group of the Hospital Information System), Philips Medical Systems and the University Hospital of Utrecht (AZU) are partners in the so-called Dutch PACS Project in the development and evaluation of a fully integrated image information system. The first phase of the coupling (sub)project consists of establishing a communication link between the BAZIS/ZIS and the Philips/MARCOM system with the following restrictions: the only data sent concerns the inpatients of one ward; data will only flow one way, from BAZIS/ZIS to Philips/MARCOM. In the second phase two-way communication will be realized and more departments can be part of the experiment. In phase 3 a more general HIS-PACS interface will be developed, independent of the manufacturers of HIS and PACS. In this paper the technical solution chosen for the first phase coupling, the format of the messages being transferred, and the events which result in sending the messages, will be described. Also, reference is made to the demonstration of the working HIS-PACS link, given during the 6th EuroPACS meeting in Utrecht and Leiden on 25-26 April 1988.

Computerized ordering of ultrasound examinations.

A uniform format for requesting ultrasound examinations was developed in response to the installation of a computerized communication system within the hospital. This format consists of a sequence of eight question-lists (screens), which are presented to the referring physicians on a computer video terminal and from which he selects appropriate information with a light pen. With computerized ordering, it is now possible for the ultrasonographer to be assured of always receiving study indications and relevant patient clinical information while knowing that the referring physician has been advised of study contraindications, scheduling advice, and the proper patient preparation.
