Today's modern multi-slice CT scanners produce thousands of images from the top of the head through the pelvis in a single acquisition, combining multiple orders into a single study.  Normally, PACS associates the CT study with only one order, effectively orphaning the other orders.  This advance in CT causes problems downstream for the PACS: manual processes must be put into place to capture billing; CT worklists are confusing; relevant prior exams are difficult or impossible to find and if found, the radiologist must sift through a number of irrelevant images before reaching the images of interest.  dyseCT™ solves this workflow headache by splitting CT studies into their constituent orders using algorithms that automatically identify anatomical regions.  dyseCT™ is the only automated solution to this problem, in the market today!

dyseCT™ queries the PACS for DICOM modality worklist, identifies studies with multiple orders, and provides a modified DICOM modality worklist to the CT scanner.  dyseCT™ receives the studies from the CT scanner, automatically splits the studies and associates each part with the appropriate order, then sends the split studies to the PACS. 

Features:

• assigns accession number from the relevant order and coerces patient demographic data

• provides a modified DICOM modality worklist replacing multiple orders with a single group order that reduces clutter and confusion

• assigns localizer and processed images to the correct study

• configurable anatomical region overlaps

• routing to QC destinations and automatic fail over destinations

• web-based breakup verification and monitoring GUI  - new in dyseCT™ v4.0

• web-based GUI for easy configuration
