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

The module can connect OpenMRS to any Picture archiving and communication system (PACS) which accepts radiology order entries via HL7 v2.3.1 ORM messages.

Current set of features:

  • place radiology orders from within OpenMRS which are sent to the PACS via HL7 v2.3.1 ORM messages
  • 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

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.
