Cynthia E. Keen[email protected]ISImplementing best practices for electronic communication of critical resultsTuesday, November 29 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-PPE-TU6A | Lakeside Learning CenterCritical test results management software is designed to help simplify, streamline, and make more foolproof the delivery of urgent information, but out-of-box implementation doesn't necessarily produce the desired results. In this session, Dr. Charles McGraw will describe how radiologists at the University of California, Los Angeles Health System have modified a software program to meet the needs of physicians.November 10, 2011ISRIS integration eliminates paper ultrasound measurement formsTuesday, November 29 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-INS-TU8A | Lakeside Learning CenterA Web-based data entry form to record ultrasound measurements has not only eliminated the use of paper forms in the radiology department of Staten Island University Hospital, it has improved the accuracy of communications between technologists and radiologists.November 10, 2011ISOpen-source software extracts CT exposure metricsTuesday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSG07-09 | S402ABOpen-source software that extracts anatomy-specific CT exposure metrics from existing image repositories will make its debut at this Tuesday scientific session.November 10, 2011PACS/VNATurn off that workstation! Going 'green' in radiology departmentsTuesday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG07-06 | S402ABThis scientific session will cover an investigation at the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center that showed how many taxpayer dollars could be saved if the radiology department intelligently went "green" by turning of equipment when not in use.November 10, 2011ISOntology-driven search tool identifies MRI contraindications, medical historyTuesday, November 29 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSG07-05 | S402ABTuesday, November 29 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG07-08 | S402ABAn ontology-driven search tool is being deployed at Massachusetts General Hospital to rapidly search existing electronic medical records of patients admitted to the emergency department for important medical history and identify patients scheduled for MRI exams who've experienced prior contraindications. Its use and how well it performs will be explained in these two scientific papers.November 10, 2011ISHow to create a radiology department website for mobile devicesTuesday, November 29 | 9:00 a.m.-9:10 a.m. | MSVR31-03 | Room N228This presentation will describe the basics of how to create a radiology department website for users of smartphones or mobile tablets.November 10, 2011ISPrioritizing superstat exams may reduce turnaround timesMonday, November 28 | 3:40 p.m.-3:50 p.m. | SSE12-05 | Room S402ABIn this scientific paper presentation, a radiology department describes the extra step it has taken to prioritize the most urgent of "stat" exam requests from its emergency department.November 10, 2011ISDose monitoring software and benchmarking promote CT dose awarenessMonday, November 28 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-INE1215-MOB | Lakeside Learning CenterKeeping score on a monthly basis of radiation doses administered to patients having CT exams has heightened awareness and provided feedback through benchmarking at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.November 10, 2011PACS/VNAMaking a miniPACS and reporting system work in KenyaMonday, November 28 | 12:45 p.m.-1:15 p.m. | LL-INE1152-MOB | Lakeside Learning CenterProviding basic radiology services in a developing country, much less implementing a PACS, is challenging. However, a specialized PACS and structured reporting system are operating successfully in Kenya; they will be described in an exhibit at RSNA 2011 by one of its implementers.November 10, 2011ISStructured reports establish consistency in radiology departmentMonday, November 28 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-QSE-MO1A | Lakeside Learning CenterThe radiology department of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has a reputation for innovation, so it's not surprising that it has implemented the use of structured reporting templates for more than 90% of all dictated reports. Rebecca Pryor, radiology compliance and education specialist, will discuss this initiative.November 10, 2011Previous PagePage 28 of 88Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingCase report: Pluvicto as a first-line treatment in late-stage prostate cancerSince 1996, the patient continually declined androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, and local therapy to the prostate gland.MRINew brain MRI imaging technique could help identify Alzheimer'sRadiology EducationScholarly activity low among residency program directorsDigital X-Ray3D DEXA shows value in patients with prostate cancerSponsor ContentDigital Innovations Shaping the Future of Radiology
