  • Title: Efficient radiologic reading environment by using an open-source macro program as connection software.
    Author: Lee YH.
    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 2012 Jan; 81(1):100-3. PubMed ID: 21163597.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The objectives are (1) to introduce an easy open-source macro program as connection software and (2) to illustrate the practical usages in radiologic reading environment by simulating the radiologic reading process. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The simulation is a set of radiologic reading process to do a practical task in the radiologic reading room. The principal processes are: (1) to view radiologic images on the Picture Archiving and Communicating System (PACS), (2) to connect the HIS/EMR (Hospital Information System/Electronic Medical Record) system, (3) to make an automatic radiologic reporting system, and (4) to record and recall information of interesting cases. This simulation environment was designed by using open-source macro program as connection software. RESULTS: The simulation performed well on the Window-based PACS workstation. Radiologists practiced the steps of the simulation comfortably by utilizing the macro-powered radiologic environment. This macro program could automate several manual cumbersome steps in the radiologic reading process. This program successfully acts as connection software for the PACS software, EMR/HIS, spreadsheet, and other various input devices in the radiologic reading environment. CONCLUSION: A user-friendly efficient radiologic reading environment could be established by utilizing open-source macro program as connection software.
