“…Based on a research the best way to preserve the user's satisfaction with the hospital information system is when designing this system, rather than the viewpoints and requirements of the system's developers, the viewpoints and requirements of the system's users must be taken into account. 6,12 In another study conducted in the Germany association for medical informatics, Munch et al (2003) argued that an integrated information system enables the users to easily carry out the working procedures operations without any need to make changes in the various applicable programs and software. Furthermore, exploiting the integrated teleconference system considered as a sub-system of the foregoing system would result in a remarkable improvement in the medical treatments and health care quality by providing an appropriate context for idea exchange and telephone-consultation with the medical sciences' professionals.…”

INTRODUCTIONWith the advent of digital medical equipments and the very tendency newly emerged in the medical sciences field towards software movement as well as the necessity of hospitals working towards integrating the health and medical information of the national hospitals, paraclinical departments especially medical imaging departments have taken effective steps towards using information technology to assist with the diagnosis procedures by the ABSTRACT Background: Radiology Information System (RIS) coordinates the organizational processes and administrative based on information. The present study was an attempt towards a performance assessment of the RISs used in general Isfahan hospitals. Methods: This study was descriptive cross-sectional in nature. Its statistical population consisted of the general teaching hospitals of Isfahan city (Iran). Due to the limitedness of the population of study, the sample size was the same as the population size. The data were collected using a self-designed checklist produced based on the royal college of radiologists' guidelines, i.e. input components (13 items), process components (10 items) and output components (8 items). The researcher collected the data through observation and interview. The validity of the checklist was assessed by the health information system field's valid authorities. Finally, the gathered data were put into SPSS 16 software and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Among the RIS in the hospitals, Kashani, Isa Ibn Maryam and Nour & Ali Asghar had the highest rank for input components (mean score = 30.79%). As for process components, Al-zahra, Kashani and Isa Ibn Maryam gained the highest position (mean score = 38.9%). Finally, Al-zahra and Kashani hospitals with a mean score of 66.66% enjoyed the highest rank for output components. Conclusion: RIS must be capable of satisfying a number of requirements including satisfying the medical needs of the patients, producing the reports, image and report processing, patients' appointment scheduling, the procedures for receiving and administrating the orders and other radiology procedures.

“…Currently, the majority of the EPRs are not fully effective since they have not incorporated images. See also [71] and [72]. With the EPR the patient's record goes with the patient and information can easily be retrieved across different systems within the enterprise.…”

“…It should be noted, however, that high quality service, efficiency and clinical effectiveness of the PACS system can only be realized if an EPR is integrated with PACS. This integration enables a consistent working environment for clinicians, nurses and management and the opportunities for (e)consultation, for instance, teleconferencing [70] and [71].…”

We argue that this model can help hospitals to gain insights into their (strategic) objectives for growth and maturity with regard to PACS, the electronic patient record (EPR) and other health information systems. Moreover, the proposed model can be applied as a valuable tool for organizational assessments, monitoring and benchmarking purposes. Hence, the PMM contributes to an integral alignment model for PACS technology.

“…This project resulted in a web-based collaborative system for medical image analysis and diagnosis providing a Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) tool in the medical area. In 2003, Munch et al proposed a web-based distribution of radiology images integrating medical images from the PACS with medical information from electronic patient record and making them available for consultation in the intranet and the internet [11]. This system was based on the Java Advanced Imaging Application program Interface (JAIAPI).…”

This paper describes a novel multimedia tool to facilitate visual assessment of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) activation patterns by human experts. A great effort is placed by radiologists and neurologists to present a consistent methodology to provide assessment for brain activation map images. Since each radiologist has his own way to perform the visual analysis on the images and present the findings, rating a large and heterogeneous group of images is a hard task. Although this tool is focused on assessing fMRI activation patterns related to brain language network paradigms, the tool can be extended to other brain activation maps, such as motor, reading, and working memory. Moreover, the same tool can be used for assessing images acquired using different recording modalities as long as these images are saved in standard image formats such as JPEG, BMP, or PNG. The use of this tool is independent of the methodology used to generate the brain activation map, which can be done using specialized software tools such as Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) or fMRI Software Library (FSL). The main benefits of using this tool for brain activation image scoring are the systematic approach for rating the activation maps, the automatic descriptive statistics applied to the results and the reduction of assessment time from several minutes to seconds. For each study, the proposed system presents the activation pattern image, based on which the rater is asked to indicate the level and type of activation observed in general, and in specific on the following areas: frontal, temporal, and supplemental motor area.
