Lisa Fratt | | Health Exec | Digital Transformation
Siemens Healthcare has signed an agreement to incorporate Radimetrics' radiation dose management and reporting system into syngo Workflow RIS.

When combined with syngo Workflow RIS, the system captures radiation dose information in a diagnostic report. The integration will help hospitals and imaging centers to comply with dose monitoring requirements, according to Siemens and Radimetrics.

The system features a cumulative dose tracking scorecard, a dosimetry worksheet that incorporates a simulation engine, protocol management tools with support for multiple scanners, and dose reporting dashboards.
