Using the MIRC DICOM Service for Clinical Trials to Automatically Create Teaching File Cases from PACS

Teaching File Creation

•While reading a case on PACS, the Radiologist select the images for the teaching file case, write the diagnosis in the “Study Comments” box, usually used for wet readings, and transmit the case to the MIRC server directly from PACS. The MIRC server automatically fills the modified teaching file template using the data in the DICOM header (patient age, patient sex, clinical history, diagnosis, imaging modality, organ system) and creates a simple teaching file. If desired, this teaching file case can be edited at a later time using the Authoring Service.
