Aplios revolutionary High Density Beamforming


architecture provides you with clinical images of exceptional
resolution and detail, so you can always get your diagnostic answer quickly and reliably. The system is equipped with a wide range
of powerful clinical tools for advanced visualization, quantification and
intervention for daily routine and clinical research.

Dear Reader,

EDITORIAL

Looking back at RSNA there are two terms that epitomize


current developments and innovations in radiology: mobility
and image fusion.
Today, powerful image processing and image management
solutions allow users to view images and access patient data
on a multitude of mobile devices not only in any corner of the
hospital but also on the go as long as a mobile phone network
is available. But it is ultrasound technology that quite surprisingly
has come up with some of the most stunning innovations in image
processing and communication. Where a few years ago clinical detail
seemed to be hidden in clutter noise and patients were offered but
a tiny photo torn off a role of thermo paper today the sonographer
can go on a virtual trip through cavities and vessels.
But even better: Modern ultrasound systems
correlate CT and 3D ultrasound data volumes
and display findings from different modalities
and from different planes next to each other on
the console. Thus US-guided needle biopsies can
now be performed based on CT data.
This, in our opinion, is an outstanding example
of modern technology that enhances diagnostic
safety and patient comfort alike.

Amedo-LNSTM Lasernavigation

CIVCO RAD-GUIDE

Highlights

The amedo-LNSTM is a novel navigation system for CT-guided interventions in


radiology such as biopsy, drainage or tumor ablations. The CE-marked system
improves intervention accuracy, fastens the treatment and most important reduces X-ray exposure for patients and medical stuff. The first clinical trial in
spinal intervention showed significant advantage compared to free-hand procedures with regards to precision, treatment time and radiation exposure. Further
clinical trials are ongoing.

The RAD-GUIDE is a manual surgical instrument for general use and can be
used for computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy-guided needle procedures.
Guide provides proper needle support and orientation for everyday problems
such as needle navigation while corresponding to a CT image
Ideal for ablations, core tissue biopsies and drainage
Needle guide allows physicians to reduce high dose radiation exposure with a
hands-free approach to all types of puncture
Single-use design reduces risk of cross-contamination and increases productivity with ease and safety
The guide features a removable, break-away top-plate for instrument quickrelease when required and will accept a range of sizes including: 9 14 GA

syngo.plaza at University Hospital in Wrzburg, Germany

Focusing more on the patient,


less on technology
The University Hospital of Wrzburg just

migrated from Siemens SIENET Magic

to syngo.plaza, marking a further step


toward optimizing workflow economy

and medical quality. It is now one of


the systems biggest users in Germany,
with plans for 100 users to operate
approximately 170 modalities in radiology, urology, gastroenterology, neuroradiology, and pediatric radiology.

The switch marked a major leap forward. Professor Dietbert Hahn, MD,
director of the hospitals Institute of
Radiology, points out unequivocally:
we took another step toward optimizing workflow economy and medical
quality with the hospital-wide introduction of syngo.plaza. Both, time
savings and quality enhancement were

major factors driving the move. Tools


such as the findings Navigator, for
instance: With syngo.plaza, we can
visualize measurements of tumors or
other lesions in an action log. When we
reopen the series later, we automatically
see the images with the measurements
from that time. That saves time and
helps during the diagnostic process.

IT SYSTEMS 51
RADBOOK 2012

Switching to the
Next View in Seconds1
Another example is the Cross Reference
mode, which is used for reporting CT
or MRI studies. The radiologist marks a
certain spatial point within a series and
can then automatically locate that point
in a different view. Detlef Klein, MD,
senior physician in the hospitals radiology department cites a real-world example to explain the benefits of this process: Using the Cross Reference tool,
I can switch perspectives in seconds1 to
find out whether an air pocket is located
within the intestine or is extraluminal.
In principle, the sites former PACS also
offered the ability to call up multiple orthogonal views, of course. But it is significantly faster now, with just one click
from the mouse menu, Klein says.
Indeed, time savings and speed are
what the switch is all about. Downloading a polytrauma case with 1,600 images
now takes just a few seconds1 at most,
where the radiology team in Wrzburg
used to wait several minutes for the same
process to finish in the past. Speed also
affects communication within the team,
as Hahn points out: It used to take a
minute and a half to load an MRI or CT
series. That was unbearably long for clinical demonstrations or tumor conferences.
With syngo.plaza, the images now appear
onscreen right away. Since these kinds
of conferences often involve discussing
images from twenty or more patients, including preliminary scans, it is easy to
see how much time the new PACS saves.

The idle times we experienced


during tumor conferences
while we waited for the images
is now finally a thing
of the past for us.
Prof. Matthias Beissert, MD,
Managing Physician at the
Institute of Radiology
Individual series now load in three to
four seconds1 since they are no longer
transferred to the interpretation console

network. In this context, Hahn lays out
a simple calculation: If it took a minute
and a half to call up a study using the old
PACS, and we open 400 studies per day,
we can see, in purely arithmetic terms,
that syngo.plaza will now help save us
several hours of loading time time that
we can better use elsewhere. The image
memory is large enough that we can even
access the images for multiple patients at
the same time.
On the topic of work speed and waiting times, Professor Matthias Beissert,
MD, managing physician at the Institute of Radiology, cant resist a slight
dig at Siemens: We had to wait a bit
longer than we had originally expected
for syngo.plaza, he notes. Developing an advanced PACS simply takes
time. And a new PACS from Siemens
is no exception, he says. But jokes and
critical comments aside, Beissert does
ultimately have praise for Siemens as
a longstanding, valued partner: The
wait was worthwhile well worthwhile,
even.
One factor in his positive overall
assessment of syngo.plaza is the Smart
Select function, a personalized tool that
each radiologist can arrange according
to his or her routines. The radiologist
selects the eight most frequently used
functions and places them in the star,
where they can then be clicked directly,
instead of having to use the navigation
bars for access. This helps ensure that
users move forward quickly, with just a
few clicks, saving mouse meters and
allowing the radiologist to concentrate
completely on the image.

The fact that the data transfer took only


about eight months is due to a number of factors, including the optimized
management of the migration process. Those responsible for the project
pinpointed a transfer speed that allowed
radiologists to do their work without
issues during the migration, while still
keeping the preliminary studies generated earlier available for comparison
purposes without long wait times.
During the migration process, Siemens maintained its own office within
the radiology institute to monitor the
data transfer and remain available to
PACS users at all times. We always
have an expert contact person nearby to
help us right away with all our technical
questions and issues relating to using the
system, says Klein, praising the support
provided for the project.

Data Sets from


1.2 Million Scans
Migrated to New PACS

So whats the final verdict on syngo.


plaza? Beissert pauses, then answers:
We are focusing less on the technology
and more on the benefits that the technology brings us for our reporting. That
means syngo.plaza has taken our radiology department into the future. The
new PACS is a tool that allows radiologists once again to concentrate more on
the original purpose of the profession in
their day-to-day practice: That is actually
the best compliment syngo.plaza could
hope to earn. After all, it was developed
for physicians not for engineers.

The facility in Wrzburg decided on


everything in a single archive as a
solution. All of the existing data from
ten years of digital radiology 1.2 million scans, totaling 50 terabytes in all
was transferred to the new system. The
departments former PACS, SIENET
Magic, has definitely been put out of
commission now that the data migration is complete, and the radiologists are
working exclusively with syngo.plaza.

The support we received


from Siemens during the
migration was everything we
could have hoped for.

When Replacing Legacy PACS Systems, Healthcare


Groups Embrace The Flexibility of Cloud-Based Services

PACS in the Cloud


Public and private healthcare facilities
in Europe are leading the world in the
implementation of cloud-based PACS
and archiving services. In an environment of rapid technological advances,
it makes sense to select the most flexible platform possible for the management and distribution of imaging exams
and associated patient information.

Cloud-based services offer the following


advantages:
The provider assumes responsibility for all aspects of the service including upgrades to hardware and
software; adopting and maintaining security measures and conforming to regulatory requirements in
each country.
This highly scalable solution can
accommodate multiple authorized users and facilities, regardless
of physical location. This greatly
facilitates the sharing of imaging
studies among affiliated and unaffiliated facilities and remote radiologists and specialists; and

The ability to pay for capabilities


on a per-use basis.
When replacing legacy PACS systems,
healthcare providers are now relying
upon cloud-based services to efficiently
distribute, manage and store imaging
exams and related data. Images can be
quickly and easily transmitted via a secure Internet connection to on-site or
off-site radiologists for reading. Studies can be shared with referring physicians or other clinicians at any location over a basic Internet connection.
Cloud-based services also can allow
patients to access their own records
and share them with their physicians.

Carestream Health is one of the worlds


premier providers of large cloud-based
healthcare IT infrastructures. The company currently manages over 1 billion
images worldwide, supported by data
centres across the U.S., Europe, Latin
America and Japan.
Carestream Vue Cloud PACS delivers full PACS functionality for image review, storage and distribution
throughout the enterprise including
delivering advanced reading tools to
remote radiologists. The companys
Vue Cloud Archive offers virtualised,
vendor-neutral storage as well as data
protection and disaster recovery of
clinical data and can reduce costs by
up to 30 percent. The Vue Cloud Community enables healthcare providers
that use the companys archive service
to allow access to that data by authorised clinicians anywhere in the world
through a simple Internet connection,
making it ideal for inter-hospital collaboration.

Hospital Group Implements CloudBased Archiving, Access Portal


Algemeen Stedelijk Ziekenhuis Aalst
(ASZ) in Flanders, Belgium, is marrying a new generation on-site CARESTREAM Vue PACS with cloud-based
archiving for all radiology studies delivered from the Carestream regional

data centre. The Vue Cloud Portal*


will make data from a 40 terabyte
legacy archive accessible to Internetbased users.
The 600-bed ASZ is a large hospital group that operates across three
sites and manages more than 320,000
studies annually.
Carestream offered the latest
state-of-the-art technology for PACS
capabilities and vendor-neutral archiving, said Dr. Van Hedent, Chief Radiologist of the ASZ. With the new
system we will enjoy the best native
post-processing capabilities on the
market and also embedded reporting
tools with speech recognition and remote access.
Mr. Brantegem, the groups Finance Manager, reports the pay-perstudy payment model presented significant advantages. It provides total
transparency of use and a predictable
total cost of ownership, while reducing
the need to maintain and upgrade our
infrastructure.

Need for Collaboration Drives


Selection of Cloud-Based Services
The University Hospital of SaintEtienne in France is installing a CARESTREAM Vue Cloud PACS and Vue
Cloud Archive to enable collaboration
with other healthcare facilities in the

region. The new contract is part of the


hospitals modernisation strategy.
To oversee the project, a control
group was established consisting of
public health and medical-social institutions, cooperative health groups and
non-profit organisations. The group
will share the purchase and use of services and equipment.
For our project the service model
approach offered the best guarantee of
success, by virtue of its great adaptability to address the needs of the different participants and its capacity
for sharing economies of scale, said
Jean-Christophe Bernadac, Information System Manager at the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne. Outsourcing the platform to Carestreams
approved data centre also allows us to
fully conform with regulations.
Vue is the new brand for the companys comprehensive healthcare IT
platform that includes radiology, cardiology, enterprise workflow, vendorneutral archiving and cloud-based
services. Vue merges Carestream
Healths lineage of imaging innovation with leading-edge IT technology.
With thousands of proven implementations worldwide, Vue healthcare IT
solutions deliver streamlined workflow, clinical excellence and superior

Images, leading the way.


Together, lets celebrate the clinical image and its potential to improve care
for more patients around the globe.

The medical image continues to grow


in importance for the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases. As a direct result
of the imaging innovations of the past
decades, today diseases can be detected
earlier and better. Treatment decisions
can be made with higher confidence
based on more specific clinical information. Medical procedures get less and less
invasive, with reduced dose and less
open surgery. And, higher affordability

of imaging and higher productivity


with imaging enable more and more
nations around the globe to give their
populations access to modern care.
With that, imaging today contributes
significantly to advancing human
health. We at Siemens are passionate
about innovation that advances human
health. Together with you we want to
celebrate the medical image and its

Since the approval of the first commercial systems in 2000, digital mammography has become an accepted standard of care in breast cancer screening
and diagnosis worldwide and has paved
the way for the newest groundbreaking
technology in this arena - breast tomosynthesis.
Breast tomosynthesis is a screening
and diagnostic modality that acquires
images of a breast at multiple angles
during a short scan. The individual
images are then reconstructed into a
series of thin, high-resolution slices
typically 1 mm thick, which can be displayed individually or in a dynamic cin
mode.

Andrew Smith, Ph.D., Vice President - Imaging Science, Hologic

Practical Considerations in Implementing


Breast Tomosynthesis in a Clinical Setting
A tomosynthesis data set virtually
eliminates detection challenges associated with overlapping structures in the
breast, which is the primary drawback
of conventional 2D analog and digital
mammography. In addition, breast
tomosynthesis offers other potential
benefits including increased lesion and
margin visibility, help in localizing structures in the breast, a reduction in recall
rates, and increased cancer detection.

Tomosynthesis has been available in Europe and other countries recognizing the
CE mark since 2008. In February 2011,
Hologics Selenia Dimensions breast
tomosynthesis system was the first commercial system approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration. With
the Hologic tomosynthesis system, an examination takes only seconds longer than
a conventional two dimensional digital
mammogram. The system was approved
for use in the same clinical indications
as 2D mammography including breast
cancer screening and diagnosis.
Prior to introducing tomosynthesis into a clinical practice, there are a
number of practical considerations that

should be evaluated.
Most breast imaging centers have
multiple digital mammography systems,
and it may not be economically feasible
to immediately replace every 2D system
with a Tomo-capable units. It is likely
that many facilities will implement tomosynthesis in phases, beginning with
one or two systems initially, similar to
the pattern seen in the transition from
analog to digital mammography. During
this implementation phase, facilities will
need to develop criteria for determining
which patients will receive Tomo exams and processes to ensure efficient
patient management in a mixed 2D and
tomosynthesis environment. In addi-

tion to patient management planning,


there are a number of other issues to be
considered, including: how comparison
to priors will be handled; methods to
ensure radiologists receive appropriate
training prior to reading Tomo exams;
how reading times for Tomo exams will
affect workflow; and the impact tomosynthesis will have on archiving and
display requirements. These issues are
discussed in more detail below, drawing
from the experiences of users who have
adopted tomosynthesis.

Some facilities offer tomosynthesis using


the next available free system model. In
this scenario, if the room with the tomosynthesis system is free, the next patient
will be triaged to the room, regardless of
their breast density. Some facilities also
offer full access to a tomosynthesis exam
for any woman who requests the procedure. This is accomplished through the
use of special after-hours or otherwise
scheduled blocks of time to assure access
to the system.
Figure 1 shows some of the possible
implementation scenarios for tomosynthesis. All of these scenarios are reasonable implementation strategies.

diagnostic patients

Use of Tomosynthesis for Women


with Dense Breasts
Tomosynthesis has been shown to have
value in both fatty and dense breasts, but
it has a greater impact for women with
dense breasts. Therefore, if a practice
does not have enough systems to screen
all women, it is reasonable to reserve
tomosynthesis for women with dense
breasts.
However, as tomosynthesis offers a
benefit in both fatty and dense breasts,
the eventual goal should be to screen all
women using tomosynthesis imaging.

Use for diagnostic


exams only

Prior Year(s): 2D mammograms


were acquired.
Current Year: Combo-mode exam
acquired. The radiologist can diagnose from the 2D and Tomo dataset,
and uses the current years 2D to
compare to prior years 2D images.
Next Year: A 2D only exam or a
combo-mode exam may be acquired,
depending upon whether the patient
is triaged to a 2D or Tomo-capable
system.
If a combo-mode exam is acquired,
the radiologist has both 2D and
Tomo currents and priors.
If a 2D only exam is acquired, the
radiologist can compare the current
year 2D to the next year 2D and also
to the current year Tomo, if desired.

Use for some screening


patient subgroups, such
as women with dense
breasts

Use of Tomosynthesis for


Screening or Diagnostic Imaging
Tomosynthesis has shown value in a
diagnostic evaluation of a symptomatic
breast. It also can be used as a screening tool to improve sensitivity and reduce
recalls. Therefore, either or both indications are acceptable uses of tomosynthesis. Since diagnostic procedures often
take longer than screening exams, more
women per day can be accommodated
on machines dedicated to screening use.
This might be a consideration in situations where a limited number of Tomocapable systems are available.

Partial

tomosynthesis

These types of scenarios are illustrated


in Figure 2, and represent a hypothetical clinic that switches, in the current
year, some but not all of their screening
systems to tomosynthesis.

patients, as the

Figure 1:
Various Implementation
Strategies for Tomosynthesis

Handling Priors
Standard mammography practice involves the comparison of current images
to images from a previous exam (priors). The use of combo-mode imaging
gives the radiologist access to a 2D current for comparison to 2D priors. This
combo-mode procedure also offers some
advantages in the scenarios mentioned
above where a patient this year might
get a tomosynthesis study and in the next
year receive only a 2D study because of
scheduling constraints or equipment access. In such a situation, the radiologist
reading the study in the following year
would have access to the 2D exams from
previous combo-mode studies.

Radiologist Training
Proper training on the interpretation of
tomosynthesis images is of critical importance, as was demonstrated in Hologics reader studies. To ensure access to
appropriate training, Hologic has set up
training classes around the world, taught
by radiologists experienced in tomosynthesis. These classes cover the appearance in tomosynthesis of different density parenchymal patterns, along with
benign and malignant lesions. Actual
clinical cases are included in the training files, and self-assessment practice
cases are reviewed and discussed to give
radiologists an opportunity to test their
learning. The following is a link to Hologics tomosynthesis training page for
radiologists: www.hologic.com/radtomo

An image reconstruction algorithm creates synthesized 2D


images from tomosynthesis datasets,
eliminating the need
for 2D screening
exposures, thereby
reducing both compression time and
dose.

Tomosynthesis Reading Time


Reading a tomosynthesis study involves
the evaluation of significantly more images than a 2D mammography exam, as
readers view each slice from a tomosynthesis data set containing an average of
50 or more slices. Typical slice thicknesses range from 0.5 to 1.0 mm, with more
slices to review as the slice thickness is
made thinner. Recent studies conclude
that reading times for tomosynthesis are
not unreasonable for a screening environment. The increase in the number of
images reflects the increase in the information available to the radiologist, and
the increased reading time is justified by
the superior clinical performance.*

idly implement and support the viewing


of tomosynthesis images, now that the
systems are in widespread use in Europe
and the U.S.
In planning a site, careful consideration must be given to the size of the
images. The images from a tomosynthesis study can be 5 times larger than the
corresponding size of a 2D digital mammography dataset. Network speeds and
PACS storage must be adequate for the
increased data flow. These larger datasets are a natural result of tomosynthesis
offering more information than digital
mammograms.

Conclusions

Archiving and Display


Tomosynthesis display and storage is
covered by a DICOM standard.** Nonetheless, at this time not all PACS vendors
support either the storage or display of
these images. Hologic has developed, as
an interim solution, a storage method
whereby the tomosynthesis images are
stored in a secondary capture format,
which allows the storage in PACS, but
for display one must use a Hologic SecurView diagnostic workstation. It is
expected that PACS companies will rap-

Tomosynthesis is an exciting new technology that offers the potential for improvements in both screening and diagnostic evaluations. The improvements in
clinical performance, compared to 2D
mammography, are significant. Hologics
clinical study results demonstrate that
2D mammography plus Tomo can offer
either improved cancer detection rate, or
reduced recall rate, or both, compared to
2D alone. These are certainly very positive results, and are much stronger than
the ACRIN DMIST study results which

compared the performance of digital to


screen-film mammography, and found
no average difference in performance
between the two technologies.***
There is a growing body of evidence
that tomosynthesis has the potential to
reduce the number of exposures needed
for diagnostic imaging and provide other
diagnostic benefits including enhanced
performance in assessing tumor size and
stage and more clearly demonstrating
margins and extent of lesions.
Future advances in tomosynthesis
include CAD algorithms to facilitate the
rapid identification of suspicious clusters of calcifications, development of a
synthesized 2D image to reduce the number of exposures in an exam while still
providing a 2D-equivalent image for ease
of review, and contrast enhanced imaging for patients where access to breast
MRI is limited or contraindicated.
Certain implementation issues
should be considered when adopting
tomosynthesis, particularly in environments that will include a mix of 2D and
tomosynthesis-capable systems. Careful
planning will help to ensure a successful
transition to tomosynthesis.
