249. Medical Image Resource Center -- making electronic teaching files from PACS.

Author

Lim CCT, Yang GL, Nowinski WL, and Hui F

Abstract

A picture archive and communications system (PACS) is a rich source of images and data suitable for creating electronic teaching files (ETF). However, the potential for PACS to support nonclinical applications has not been fully realized: at present there is no mechanism for PACS to identify and store teaching files; neither is there a standardized method for sharing such teaching images. The Medical Image Resource Center (MIRC) is a new central image repository that defines standards for data exchange among different centers. We developed an ETF server that retrieves digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) images from PACS, and enables users to create teaching files that conform to the new MIRC schema. We test-populated our ETF server with illustrative images from the clinical case load of the National Neuroscience Institute, Singapore. Together, PACS and MIRC have the potential to benefit radiology teaching and research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

250. E-048 Helistroke: helicopter-neurointerventionalist transport for interventional stroke – proof of concept and rationale

Abstract

Background and purposeIt is increasingly recognized that time is one of the key determinants in acute stroke outcome when applying interventional stroke therapy. With increasing device efficacy and understanding of imaging triage options, reducing pre-treatment time loss may be a critical component of improving interventional stroke outcomes for the population at large. Time sensitive procedures such as organ harvest have transported physicians to patient site to improve time to “procedure.” Applying this same principle to interventional stroke may be a valid paradigm.MethodsPrevious logistical deliberation with hospital and Medevac companies was performed to provide rationale and funding for helicopter transfer of a neurointerventionalist to an in-network hospital with on-site angiographic suite and interventional radiologists. An appropriate patient with large vessel occlusion and NIH stroke scale greater than 8 was identified. Magnetic Resonance Imaging was performed per NIH Stroke Program protocols, then the Medevac transport system was activated and the intervention was performed. Times were collected during the case and assessed for time efficiency.ResultsProof of concept case was identified and sent for imaging. Medevac was consulted at 12:13 pm after verifying that no in-house emergencies would prevent physician departure. Weather clearance was obtained and stroke intervention confirmed as a go at 12:24 pm. Groin puncture occurred at 13:07 pm, intervention was completed at 13:41 pm. Total time from decision-to-treat to groin puncture was 43 min and groin closure was completed at 77 min from decision-to-treat.ConclusionsThis proof of concept case is presented for logistical, financial and use-case analysis. As it is a first case, times can likely be improved. We assert that this model may be another option in spoke and hub design of stroke systems of care.DisclosuresA. El Mekabaty:None. F. Hui:None. V.
