Roentgen Works - It can be your PACS or Web Enable your PACS
Also supports CCR and Access By Patient

Roentgen Works is BRIT’s latest family of tools for support of the radiology environment, developed from the ground up with the latest web-centric development tools and designed to provide and utilize information over the Internet. It is designed to provide full service, low cost services that can be deployed via fast “cloud” implementations, accessed via browsers and become a source and user of knowledge in the web, in what we’ve termed the “Medical Web Knowledge Tree”. It integrates with Roentgen Files so Roentgen Files users can participate in the Knowledge Tree and Roentgen Works can utilize the years of investment in Roentgen Files tools. It can also be used to support a pure browser-based medical image viewer for legacy PACS or DICOM archive via its WebWorks module.

The core product for support of medical images is the Roentgen Works DICOM Server. BRIT brings years of experience with DICOM objects and integration to this product. The server supports quickly storing the images from multi-slice CTs, complex Ultra sound studies, large MRIs, etc. Non-DICOM object types are also supported, such as pdfs and sound files. It includes native support for multiple facilities: user and modality set-ups require associations with one or more facilities and studies are stored into facility areas so conflicts with items like accession number are prevented. User profiles include the myriad methods that can be used today to communicate with people, such as phones, mobile devices, pagers, fax and email. It also includes the information about a DICOM workstation (AE Title, IP address, port) that can be used to download studies to the user's own workstation.

In support of a legacy PACS, Roentgen Works supports a DICOM Q/R to find patients on the legacy PACS and/or other PACS. If newly arrived studies are sent directly to Roentgen Works, it can use use DICOM Q/R to automatically query other systems for studies and download them. Or, it can wait until a patient has been selected to query other servers and then download the selected studies. It also supports querying a Directory Services server via the NHIN communications standards to locate the patients and their studies on other, connected systems. With the optional HL-7 interfaces, reports can also be stored and accessed. Roentgen Works also optionally supports report distribution.

Through the use of Roentgen Works granular permissions, patients can be assigned user IDs and passwords so they can access their own studies from any browser. When using its built-in RIS, patients can also update their record and check their schedule.

Achieving another level of sophistication over most brower-based applications, customization of the user's interface is supported. Users can build their own workflows by selecting which modules to display within the tabs of the application; they can also select which columns to display and adjust the widths of them. BRIT provides recommended set-ups for the implementation of the Roentgen Works Flow for remote reading practices. A special area below the worklist supports providing additional information on the selected study.

Roentgen Works is the base product for support of the following optional modules:

• UrgentWorks
• SpeechWorks
