With the advent of the digital information age, the application of various advanced computer technologies and digital image technologies in diagnostic imaging equipment has laid the foundation for the development of medical imaging information systems. After more than a hundred years of development, medical imaging technology has also developed from the initial X-ray imaging to the current variety of digital imaging technology.
What is a medical imaging information system
Medical imaging information system is abbreviated as PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems), which is the same as Clinical Information System (CIS), Radiology Information System (RIS) and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems). Clinical Information System (CIS), Radiology Information System (RIS), Hospital Information System (Hospital Information System, HIS), Laboratory Information System (Laboratory Information System, LIS) is a hospital information system.
Medical imaging information system narrowly refers to the medical image storage and communication system based on the technical solution to the image processing technology management system; clinical information system refers to support the clinical activities of the hospital staff, collection and processing of patients' clinical information information management system; radiology information system refers to the registration of radiology, triage, diagnostic imaging reports, as well as radiology information query, statistics and other process-based management. Radiology information system refers to the radiology registration, triage, diagnostic imaging reports and radiology information query, statistics and other information systems based on process management; hospital information system refers to the information management system covering all hospital operations and the whole process of business; laboratory information system is a class of information systems used to deal with laboratory process information.
In the modern medical industry, medical imaging information system refers to the medical image information system that includes RIS, designed with DICOM3.0 international standard, with high-performance servers, network and storage devices constituting the hardware support platform, and a large-scale relational database as the storage and management tool for data and images, and with the acquisition, transmission, storage and diagnosis of medical images as the core, it is a system that integrates the acquisition, transmission, storage management, image diagnosis query and reporting of images and the management of the storage, and is a system that integrates the acquisition, transmission, storage and reporting of medical images. It is a comprehensive application system integrating image acquisition, transmission, storage management, image diagnosis query and report management, comprehensive information management and other comprehensive applications. Its main task is to digitally save a large amount of medical images generated by the imaging department of the hospital (including images generated by MRI, CT, DR, ultrasound, various X-ray machines, etc.) through the DICOM3.0 international standard interface (most of the Chinese market is analog, DICOM, network and other interfaces). ) in a digital way to save a large number of, when needed in a certain authorization can be quickly called back to use, while adding some auxiliary diagnostic management functions.
Demand for medical imaging information system application
With the development of modern medicine, medical institutions rely more and more on medical imaging examinations (X-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound, endoscopy, angiography, etc.). Traditional medical imaging management methods (film, pictures, information) this large number of day after day, year after year, storage and custody, piling up, to find and access to bring many difficulties, the loss of film and information from time to time. Has not been able to adapt to the modern hospital on such a large number and a large range of medical image management requirements. The use of digital image management methods to solve these problems has been recognized. With the development of computer and communication technology, it lays the foundation for digital imaging and transmission. At present, many domestic hospitals have completed the hospital information management, its imaging equipment is gradually updated to digital, has the networking and implementation of the basic conditions of the imaging information system, to achieve a completely film-free radiology and digital hospitals, has become an unstoppable trend of modern medical.
