Workflow-based Integration of EDCS and PACS Supporting Image-based Surrogates in Clinical Trials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image-based surrogates became increasingly important in controlled clinical trials developing novel drugs and medical devices. However, there is as yet no structured way to collect digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) objects in electronic data capture systems (EDCS), i.e., the trial database systems. Recently, van Herk obtained a tight connection of electronic case report forms (eCRFs) and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) [1]. In this work, we suggest a workflow-based architecture integrating EDCS as the leading component.

Integration of CBIR in Radiological Routine in Accordance with IHE
Increasing use of digital imaging processing leads to an enormous amount of imaging data. The access to picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), however, is solely textually, leading to sparse retrieval results because of ambiguous or missing image descriptions. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems can improve the clinical diagnostic outcome significantly. However, current CB...

Materials and Methods. We present our preliminarily results toward an enterprise-wide PACS intended to support all kind of image production in medicine, from biomolecular images to whole-body pictures. Our solution is based on an existing radiologic PACS system from which images are distributed through an electronic patient record to all care facilities. This platform is enriched with a flexibl...
متن کاملI. INTRODUCTION Advances in model-based iterative reconstruction (IR) methods for x-ray CT and cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging
C-arm cone-beam CT offers great potential in image-guided interventions, but conventional analytic reconstruction methods are associated with limited image quality, particularly for soft-tissue imaging. While model-based iterative reconstruction (IR) methods improve image quality and/or reduce radiation dose, long reconstruction time limits utility in clinical workflow. Additionally, in contras...

متن کاملCell based therapies in retinal diseases
Background Degenerative retinal diseases, including age related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and hereditary retinal dystrophies are major causes of blindness. The principal defect in these diseases is cell loss which is amenable to both cell based neuroprotective and neuroregenerative therapies. To briefly review the lines of research and potential candidates for cell based therapies among ...
