Radiology Image Viewer

Overview: 

The basic idea of the project is to build a Radiology Image Viewer that Syncs with OpenMRS. The client will allow radiologists to input notes and diagnoses. Image Editor must allow radiologists to link radiology patients to OpenMRS and to input diagnoses/thoughts and send them as observations to OpenMRS. Physicians will be able to create orders in OpenMRS and radiology module would query to see the order queue. Radiologists also, if required, can edit/place order. 

Major Features:

  • Radiology module would be maintaining data consistency in WADO and OpenMRS
  • Create order: Physician create a radiology order indicating type of procedure and priority
  • A working image editor

Implementation Details:

  • DCMQR will be used to retrieve DICOM data
  • To link the accounts on OpenMRS and PACS, query would be run to fetch information from both accounts into our module. If the account of a patient doesn't exist, server will prompt to make one
  • Physician makes an order. Radiologist will see order in Image viewer. When radiologist will send back result, he will select the OpenMRS patient from the queue. Image editor posts OpenMRS id as dicom metadata
