What is DICOM | PACS & VNA Fundamentals

- Gone are the days of printing an X-RAY film, waiting for it to dry and hanging them up against a wall for a Radiologist to review. By today’s standards most of our medical imaging has been converted to digital format. Most PACS images are stored and transferred in DICOM format. The future of imaging extends past department specific needs. The need for digital pathology, dermatology and dental images has called for a single VNA solution. The idea is to have a solution that can store/transmit/view all types of images regardless of which vendor created it. DICOM or non-DICOM. Proprietary or native. Digital health care solutions for patients will continue to grow. In the current world, the demand for telemedicine, web conferencing, virtual clinics and patient portals will require medical images to be integrated with newly surfacing technologies.

How does the Process work to install/integrate DICOM on medical devices? How save is it and how often is it used al ready?
Sounds like you are asking for a safe way to install DICOM on a medical device. For the medical devices themselves, we expect the vendor/manufacturer to have already installed DICOM software. In some cases, we may need to purchase additional licenses from the vendor to install or active it. For networked devices that are not capable of using DICOM, it is possible to store images in a network share location. Then have a third party system pick up the images to store as dicom. We are unable to answer your question on how to install dicom on a medical device specifically as that is a question for a developer. To integrate dicom, it is fairly simple. You would just need to configure the AET, IP and port of your device. Then configure the AET, IP and port on the PACS. Explained here: pacsbootcamp.com/dicom-configuration/
So Question, do I just watch the free modules you have linked here and use the free practice exams and then apply for the certification, or must it be a CIIP program?
Sorry this question was missed. There is no official CIIP program. Any self study route of your preference works. You can choose to read books, take free courses, watch CZcams videos, etc. As long as you meet the minimum requirements, you can take the certification.
Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903
Yes, perhaps we should have made that more clear instead of saying "discovery of radiation". Though didn't the Curies and Becquerel share the Nobel Prize in Physics for their combined efforts of the work since Becquerel's initial discovery in 1896? Don't think what we stated was wrong either. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Who has access to any of these PACS images. Are they protected with HIPPA laws? In other words if I go for a MRI can a insurance company view these MRI's without my consent?
Typically these PACS images are restricted to certain users in the hospital. For example physicians and other care givers. In order to view the images, a user must have access to the application(web link or installed app) + an active account to log in. Access to PACS is managed by the PACS administrators. Users are trained to abide by HIPPA laws to protect images. Insurance companies cannot just view the MRIs without your consent. For one, they will not have direct access to the PACS application. They cannot physically access the images as they are outside the hospital network. Additionally they will not have an active account to log in.
@@HealthTechnologywithBeek I am going for a IME next month for the insurance company. My lawyer told me to give the doctor no medical records or images from the past, only what pertains to my case. Can they look up any previous or current MRI 's or x-rays ? Or only what I elect to give them?
It's not "typically".. its the law that your images are protected by HIPPA and part of your medical record (at least in the USA). Therefore, since it's no different then anything else in your medical record, PACS images are protected and confidential just like your lab data, office notes or any other part of your health care record - they are only accessible by authorized providers/users.
Where is the practice exam ?
Hi, you can find the practice exams in the link below:
