RADIATION DOSE MONITOR The DACS for Building a Low-Dose Culture

Dose Monitor / WHAT IS DACS? / DACS (Dose Archiving and Communication System) is to radiation dose reports what PACS is to DICOM images. DACS is a system for archiving and centrally managing ionizing radiation doses to which patients are exposed during medical imaging examinations. Compatible with all types of imaging modalities from all manufacturers, RDM is designed for all medical professionals involved in the dose cycle: technologists, radiologists, heads of department, medical physicists, etc. And thanks to its Webbased architecture, multiple control screens can be used without multiplying...

With RDM STAY IN CONTROL AT ALL TIMES ·· Display of all information relating to patients, examinations and acquisitions. ·· Real-time monitoring of examinations and patients with advanced alert systems based on (national and local) Diagnostic Reference Levels, and automatic e-mail notifications. ·· Dedicated screen for tracking alerts and finding their causes. ·· Instant access to the patient’s dose history for decision-making. ·· Advanced pediatric dose management. ·· Specific management of high-risk patients (pregnant women, radiation dermatitis, etc.). ·· Multi-criteria search by protocol,...

Towards Optimizing patient dose exposure Assessment and optimization of practices. Statistical analysis of dose data. Real-time monitoring of the patient’s dose exposure. Alert systems triggered when the dose is exceeded. Collection and archiving of dose data and contrast media data (iodine and radio-pharmaceutics). RDM TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Modality integration, collection of dose data ·· DICOM RDSR (Radiation Dose Structured Report) ·· DICOM Dose SC (Secondary Capture) ·· DICOM MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step) ·· DICOM Header ·· External dosimeter ·· Manual entry of dose data HIS/RIS...

Modules CONTROL / E-MAIL ALERTS MODULE / This module automatically sends an e-mail when the dose threshold defined in RDM is exceeded. This e-mail contains detailed information about the alert and the examination and is sent to each recipient defined in the system. This module has been designed for old systems that are incompatible with DICOM and have an external ionization chamber. The RDM Modality module connects to the Worklist server to retrieve the list of examinations scheduled for the day. / PACS HISTORY MODULE / This module is a decision-making tool for the radiologist before performing...
