Improved Radiation Dose Management Solution

A new collaboration between a major medical imaging equipment and solutions manufacturer, and a company offering an industry-leading radiology reporting solution, will provide improved tracking and reporting of radiation exposure resulting from an imaging scan.

The agreement will address increasing concern from patients, clinicians, and healthcare providers about radiation exposure from imaging scans, and increasing pressure to meet new US State, and national radiation dose standards.

The collaboration will help users of the Nuance Communications (Burlington, MA, USA) PowerScribe 360 medical reporting platform import patient radiology dosimetry data from the Royal Philips Healthcare (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) DoseWise Portal.

The collaboration will facilitate recording of radiation dose data from X-Ray, Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners during the normal radiology workflow, in the electronic medical record of patients, preventing transcription errors. More...
