Diagnostic Workstation
Diagnostic Workstations are used by physicians for primary interpretations
There are two classifications of digital viewing workstations, Diagnostic and Clinical (also known as Review). The distinguishing characteristics are resolution and functionality, based primarily on the monitor and the software. These workstations may be part of a PACS or may be third-party systems that work in conjunction with a PACS. The workstations are capable of receiving DICOM images from a modality or PACS and producing additional radiological reports, measurements and images, which can then be sent to another DICOM device, such as an archive. DICOM Distribution offers Three Full Featured diagnostic WS including.
The Diagnostic Workstation is the type used by the physicians to perform primary interpretation of the exam. These workstations are the highest in resolution and brightness and contain the highest level of functionality. A Diagnostic Workstation can be a stand-alone viewer or integral to an overall PACS solution. The primary purpose of a diagnostic workstation is for softcopy reading to render the official interpretation. It is intended for hospital radiology departments, teleradiology practices, imaging centers, or healthcare professionals who require a robust viewing system that provides a consistently high level of image quality that aids the speed and accuracy of diagnosis. Most Diagnostic Workstations offer a complete set of basic workstation functionalities, including:
- Configurable GUI to maximize your control and comfort—change settings for colors, layout, overlays, and display properties
- Thumbnail display for quick selection of a series—simply drag and drop, and image, patient, and study information conveniently appear on mouse-over
- Intuitive access to tools to improve your efficiency—select tools from the menu, from the toolbar, with keyboard shortcuts, or by mouse click including window/level presets, synchronized stacking, MPR, reference lines, cine function and integrated CD burning – in addition to advanced capabilities such as volume rendering and hanging protocol with support for relevant priors
- MPR for 'on the fly' generation of a multi-planar reconstruction
- Advanced 3D for reconstruction in real-time views of a study along any plane
- CD burning in DICOMDIR format
- DICOM Print for printing selected images or entire studies directly to film or paper
Although the software is a critical component of the Diagnostic Workstation, the hardware and the network connection are  equally important. A key piece of hardware, the medical display monitor, must conform to the DICOM Part 14 standard which specifies a function that relates Pixel Values to displayed Luminance levels. Medical grade displays offer resolution up to 2048 x 2560 (5 megapixel) in portrait or landscape that corresponds better with the image format of the medical images. Higher resolution allows the physician to see much more detail without panning or zooming the image. As a result, image quality is higher and productivity is increased. Whether used individually or as part of a multi-monitor viewing system, these monitors must:
- Maximize the number of gray tones that can be perceived on the display and provide optimal perception of single contrast steps
- Have the ability to recalibrate to ensure on-going life time conformance
- Provide consistency of image display across all displays
- Meet the requirements for the modality (such as FDA clearance for mammography)
DICOM Distribution can guide you through your monitor selection process. Our medical display monitors have been proven to contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy for cancer detection, especially compared to commercial off-the-shelf displays. This is due to improvements in viewing angle, longevity, luminance, and noise reduction, resulting in substantially superior accuracy and effectiveness. In addition, controlled start-up conditions save time and allow reduced power consumption, and built-in calibration insures minimal staff time spent on adjustments.
Finally the ability to access images quickly is a large consideration for the Diagnostic Workstation. Time to bring an image up on the workstation should be 3 seconds or less for images stored on an internal network with spinning disk storage. Prior examinations must be retrievable from archives in a time frame appropriate to the clinical needs of the facility and medical staff. Display times may take longer depending on the electronic network, storage and archive architecture, and on image management and retrieval methods. DICOM Distribution can provide a system designed specifically for your requirements, within your budget.
