There are a variety of ways in which “advanced visualization” workstations are being utilized by radiologists,
technologists, and clinicians in clinical care. This session will emphasize efforts to
improve practical workflow for radiologists and technologists. The features and power of these workstations
have grown considerably during the past several years and their accessibility has improved greatly.
Even
the application of the term “advanced visualization” has changed considerably. However their integration
into the radiologist’s image interpretation workflow, as well as the technologist’s workflow has not changed
as rapidly and this application presents many possibilities for improvement.
Topics to be covered in this
session will include:
- The use of advanced visualization workstations for primary interpretation of studies by
radiologists
- Integration with “PACS workstations” and PACS archives and how to improve this
- Utilization of
a single workstation for multiple applications
- Ability to compare current and prior studies and PET/CT and
other multi-modality fusion
- IHE workflow for a 3D technologist
- Pre-processing of images (bone and
table removal, vessel segmentation, etc.) as might be performed by a post processing or 3D Lab technologist.
