Portable Data for Imaging (PDI) provides reliable interchange of image data and diagnostic reports on CDs, DVDs and USB for importing, printing, or optionally, displaying in a browser.
Summary
Portable Data for Imaging further standardizes the distribution of imaging related information on interchange media. This allows users who receive interchange media to more reliably import, process, archive, display or print the imaging related information. The Profile specifies CDs as the physical media, with additional options to handle DVDs and USB Drives.
PDI media is fully DICOM compliant, in fact much of the the PDI specification simply constrains DICOM more tightly for improved compatibility. As such, any DICOM compliant reader should have no trouble reading PDI-compliant media.
Benefits
Reduce Operational Costs
- Reduces unnecessary film costs for surgery, referring physicians, or referrals to other sites by providing images on cheap, high capacity media
Reduce Errors and Enhance Patient Care
- Reduces gaps in the patient record by providing digital data which can be imported into local systems and integrated in the patient record
- Improves patient peace of mind because patients can be directly provided with copies of their personal health information
Increase Throughput
- Avoids time lost scanning film "priors" from other sites by providing the original digital data
Improve Data Accessibility
- Improves access to data from other institutions and clinics by providing it in a standard digital format on familiar media
- Improves access by allowing clinical data consumers (referring physicians, second-opinion radiologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, other institutions, clinics, referrals, etc.) to access imaging directly on their workstations
Details
The imaging information placed on the media by the creator can include medical images (CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Angiography, etc) and associated DICOM objects such as encapsulated diagnostic reports, measurements, dose records and clinical application results.
The media must include diagnostic data in DICOM format, which is thus suitable for import for further viewing, processing and archival.
The media may include optional "web viewable" copies of the information, suitable for viewing in a browser (e.g. HTML versions of the reports and JPEG versions of the DICOM images)
The media may also include an optional DICOM Viewer program for
Portable Data for Imaging Integration Profile specifies
- The reliable interchange of imaging-related information on interchange media to be used for printing, display and import into other enterprises.
- All of the imaging-related information must be available in Diagnostic format (DICOM). This includes:
- Images from Modalities such as CT, X-Ray and MRI.
- Diagnostic Reports
- Measurements
- All of the imaging-related information must be available in Diagnostic format (DICOM). This includes:
- The physical format of the media (CD, DVD or USB Drive) is specified.
- The structure of the media contents is specified.
- Information on how the Patient/Procedure information from the interchange media should be imported into the local enterprise is specified.
- Recommendations on the physicial identification of the media content (via label and document) is specified.
Systems Affected
Systems which are expected to have implemented actors from this profile include:
- Acquisition Modalities which are capable of saving Diagnostic Imaging information to PDI media.
- Display Workstations which are capable of either saving or viewing Diagnostic Imaging information to/on PDI media.
- Reporting Workstations which are capable of either saving or viewing Diagnostic Imaging/Report information to/on PDI media.
- Radiology image management/archiving (i.e. picture and communication systems (PACS)which are capable of saving Diagnostic Imaging information to PDI media.
- Workstations which are capable of viewing imaging-related information through a Web Browser or Diagnostic Imaging-related information through the DICOM Viewer provided on the PDI media.
