Background

The module has been worked on by different groups historically. Please refer to

Radiology Module (2013)

Radiology Module with dcm4chee (2014)

if you want to know more about the modules origin.

Vision

The OpenMRS radiology module aims at adding capabilities of a Radiology Information System (RIS) onto OpenMRS.

Features

...

Current set of features:

  • place radiology orders from within OpenMRS which are sent to the PACS via HL7 v2.3.1 ORM messagesin OpenMRS
  • configure a set of concept classes to define the orderable imaging procedures at the healthcare facility
  • listen to radiology order status updates from imaging modalities (via DICOM MPPS messages) and show their updated status within OpenMRS
  • configure a DICOM web viewer like oviyam or weasis to open the ordered radiology studies from within OpenMRS
  • create radiology report (currently only free text) once a radiology order is completed

Limitations

The module has not yet been officially released. We are working very hard on a first release. Please watch https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/RAD for any updates.

The module is currently only tested in conjunction with the open source PACS dcm4che which supports order entries via HL7 v2.3.1  ORM messages.

Installation

The quickest way to setup a virtual machine with the required version of OpenMRS and an instance of the dcm4chee PACS ready for you to deploy the module is to use:

currently does not send order messages to any external system via HL7. So you do not need to install an open source PACS like dcm4che at the moment.

Installation

To install the radiology module refer to https://github.com/teleivoopenmrs/puppet-openmrs-radiologydcm4chee

Configuration

To configure the radiology module and the dcm4chee PACS refer to the Install Guide

Please note that the install guide is currently not up to date with the latest state of the codebase, it is however a good starting point. We are working on it

IMPORTANT: since this was source of confusion once you upload the module, you need to go to Administration --> Settings --> Radiology and configure the "Radiology Concept Classes"

Image Removed

You can add a list of comma separated concept class UUIDs. To get these concept class UUIDs go to Administration --> Manage Concept Classes and click on one concept class like for example "Test".

You can then see the UUID in grey at the bottom

Copy paste it into the radiology module setting "Radiology Concept Classes", save and you are ready to add radiology orders!-radiology
