  • RIS BROWSER FOR DIRECT ACCESS TO A RADIOLOGY INFORMATION SYSTEM FROM A DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING MODALITY SCANNER CONSOLE
    Publication number: 20080120284
    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for remote access to a healthcare information system from a diagnostic imaging modality scanner console. Certain embodiments provide a browser located at a diagnostic imaging system console and configured to access a healthcare information system from a diagnostic imaging system console. The browser includes a data connection between a healthcare information system and a diagnostic imaging system console. The browser also includes an interface enabling remote access to information at the healthcare information system from the diagnostic imaging system console. The interface is also configured to enable remote retrieve and modification of information at the healthcare information system. Information at the healthcare information system may include patient exam order information, for example. The healthcare information system may include a RIS or PACS, for example.
