Montefiore addresses mammo reading workflow
Mach 7 Technologies (M7T) has collaborated with Montefiore Medical Center to deploy its Keystone Engine to improve mammography reading workflow.
Radiologists at New York City-based Montefiore read mammography studies using specialty workstations loosely coupled to the core radiology PACS. Different vendors provide its mammo reading workstations and PACS.
Montefiore partnered with M7T to deploy Keystone Engine, which is configured to perform DICOM Modality Work List (MWL) queries to the RIS every five minutes requesting “in progress” studies. Each MWL query returns a candidates list. Based on customer defined prefetch rules, relevant prior studies are selected and commands are issued to the PACS.
Keystone Engine, using rules defined by the customer, ensures that the studies are routed to the correct location and exam workstation based on embedded DICOM metadata, according to the Burlington, Vt.-based provider of vendor-neutral image management technology.
