Abstract

Patient data are increasingly distributed between hospitals using CDs instead of physical films. This introduces problems because different viewers from different vendors are provided, and sometimes viewers are unusable because local software installation is not allowed. In 2004, we started to facilitate the incorporation of image data from CDs into the normal workflow of the hospital by using commercially available software to perform patient reconciliation based on the DICOM modality work list. In the years after the first introduction, a more comprehensive software system was developed which allows for the fast upload of large amounts of patient image data into the normal workflow. Although direct network connection between institutions is currently being developed and deployed, in the next decade CDs will remain to be used and the integration of the data into the normal workflow is a must. Literature shows that other institutions also started to handle the CDs similarly.
