Electronic Method and System that Improves Efficiencies for Rendering Diagnosis of Radiology Procedures |
摘要 |
An electronic method and system for improving radiologists' efficiencies when viewing radiology procedures and rendering diagnosis in a manner that emulates current methods and apparatus. The method of the present invention includes reviewing electronic radiology images and reports contained in a patient's digital master folder (an information object invented to manage the patient's radiology information), comparing images from the current procedure to specific images from prior procedures in a specified order, and dictating the procedure's diagnosis into the digital master folder. The apparatus of the present invention includes a flat panel monitor for the viewing and manipulation of digital master folders, a dictation trackball device for manual and voice enabled operation and navigation of the system, and multiple high-resolution computer monitors functioning as a “light-box” for the viewing of radiology images. |

1. An electronic method of improving the efficiency of a radiologist, comprising the steps of:
a) providing a system that includes a computer and a plurality of monitors interfaced with the computer, each monitor for displaying an image; b) using at least one of the monitors to display electronic radiology images; c) using at least one of the monitors to simulate a digital graphical representation of a patient's manual master folder comprising the steps of:
(i) generating by a software application the digital graphical representation of the patient's manual master folder as an image on the monitor designed for use as a graphical user interface by the radiologist;(ii) generating data fields on the digital graphical representation including patient information, medical procedures information and radiologist information regarding radiology procedures associated with such patient stored in an information database;(iii) providing information and hyperlinks to radiology reports and images in a default electronic layout conforming to the layout of the patient's manual master folder and tailored to a user; and(iv) including hyperlinks within at least one data field to view additional information or images relating to a patient's medical records when clicked; d) using a hyperlink to open the folder displayed in step “c” to display information contained in the folder; and e) using a hyperlink that accesses the folder to display a radiology image from a radiology procedure to permit diagnosis. |
