Abstract
The module manages the clinical workflow of a radiology department. It implements the core functionality of a RIS and PACS based on the IHE integration profile Scheduled Workflow (SWF) and in accordance with DICOM standard. Therefore, manage radiology information from the patient record, through the issuance of the physician's order, the generation of the work list, track the status of procedures, to generate a report with the appropriate diagnosis. It also facilitates communication with the modalities (CT, MR. CR, US and NM) and allows to store, view and manipulate digital medical images in DICOM format.
