Event Date 4th to 4th Oct 2017
Radiation doses to patients have been and remain of considerable interest in benchmarking radiological practice from both professional and regulatory viewpoints. Whilst RIS and PACS systems have long been considered essential to the day-to-day operation and work of radiology professionals, equivalent systems that effectively and efficiently handle, process and manage dose information are not similarly integrated into service ICT structures. Extracting reliable dose information and other key study and patient metrics is as a result time consuming, inefficient and prone to numerous sources of error. Time can be disproportionately spent on the process at the expense of using that information to improve the quality of imaging and of service to patients.
Learning outcomes
1. A detailed understanding of how Dose Management Systems enhance the effective use of dose information to assist with optimisation, and meeting dose audit and reporting requirements.
2. Knowledge and awareness of critical factors for procurement, integration and implementation of Dose Management Systems as part of the essential ICT infrastructure to support radiology professionals and their services.
