1 A Practical Overview of the Clinical and Operational Impact of Computed Radiography(CR) Implementations Shirley Weddle, RT(R)(M), CIIP, BBA
2 OBJECTIVES Define Computed Radiography (CR) Discuss CR vendor configurations and potential effect on clinical workflow Demonstrate how proper CR implementation planning and follow up affects operational and clinical effectiveness
3 CR (Computed Radiography) Generally cassette based Can be used with existing X ray equipment regardless of age of equipment Digital image consists of an array of code values that represent density information Image storage size ranges from 8MB to 16MB (high resolution) Missing image data Pixels too few and too large Acceptable image Images: Physics of CR / J Anthony Siebert, PhD
4 COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY PROCESS (Step 1) Record image normally produced using film screen combination by forming latent image on photostimulable phosphor imaging plate
5 COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY PROCESS (Step 2) Identify cassette with patient & exam information and place into CR Reader. CR Reader opens cassette and removes imaging plate which is then transported through system
6 COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY PROCESS (Step 3) Plate is then read by a laser and emits light which is collected and converted to digital electronic signals by a photomultiplier tube
7 COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY PROCESS (Step 4) Reusable imaging plate is then erased by strong light within CR unit. Imaging plate placed back in cassette mechanically in CR Reader Cassette ejected and available for next exposure
8 CR PLANNING STAGES Determine objectives for CR implementation Solve current problem Address Clinical needs for image interpretation (i.e. annotations, manipulation tools, etc) Improve Workflow efficiency Free up physical space in department Create a plan and timeline to meet objectives Standalone CR with Film Output versus integration with new or existing PACS First CR implementation or Add on Power and Network readiness HIS/RIS HL7 to DICOM interface readiness for Modality Worklist
9 CR PLANNING STAGES Determine budget Determine if new Construction versus Remodeling planned for CR, PACS and/or other Modalities
10 CR PLANNING STAGES Designate someone at site to act as Project Manager Contact vendors to obtain information about products Attend seminars addressing CR Consult with other sites who have implemented systems Investigate compatibility between CR products and desired PACS systems Determine maximum networking capabilities Understand current workflow and determine processing capacity needed to meet departmental needs
11 WORKFLOW AND CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS Review throughput capabilities (cassettes or images per hour) per unit. Specify cassette sizes. Can CR Readers or processing units be linked for improved throughput and redundancy? How many input and QC stations can be associated with a single reader or linked readers? What is vendor service and warranty policy? Will site be trained to perform minor service? Who removes stuck imaging plates? Site or vendor? Available staff training
12 WORKFLOW AND CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS Address specialty exams such as Panorex and Scoliosis Flexibility of creating/editing Study tree Availability of Exposure Index to determine over/under exposure of image (not available in all products) What speed index options are available? QC process to include software and phantoms needed as well as report output Availability of reject / repeat analysis software? CR Mammography support in future
13 CR CONFIGURATION OPTIONS Multiple Cassette Units Needed for higher throughput work areas when imaging plates need to be recycled quickly for re use Consider unit size as well as additional service space that may be needed around unit Consider cassette buffer size Can cassettes be re ordered after placing in unit?
14 Multi cassette CR units
15 Multi cassette CR unit
16 Redundant Linked CR Units
17 Single Cassette Units for lower exam throughput
18 Digital Chest Unit CR Portable Unit
19 CR MAMMOGRAPHY
20 ID and QC units for CR
21 Panorex Imaging
22 Scoliosis Imaging
23 SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS Removing Imaging Plate
24 CR Implementation PACS/IT/Service Personnel to confirm unit ready for Applications training HL7 interface to DICOM mapping tested DICOM Modality Worklist on units receiving order and update information Filtering of exams to specific areas to be configured DICOM Send to Printer configured DICOM Send to PACS functional Monitor QC complete MPPS (if available) ready for testing
25 CR Implementation Tech Super User(s) and/or PACS Administrator to assist Applications person in creating Exam tree using HIS/RIS exam descriptions and corresponding exam views from Departmental Procedure Manual If CR offers choice in speed index similar to screen film system (i.e. 100 for Extremities and 400 for other exams), use setting closest to current desired analog technique If system is comparable to only one speed index (usually ), recalculate exposure values/technique to create new technique chart for manual techniques
26 Build CR Exam Study Tree
27 CONVERTING TECHNICAL FACTORS FILM SCREEN TO CR
28 CR Implementation Tech Super User(s) and/or PACS Administrator to assist Applications person Verify that needed fields appear in Modality Worklist Determine how Downtime procedures to be handled (Exam info input and recovery) Determine what level of training each employee to receive Determine where and how wrong patient and exam data are to be corrected Match Study Description with Views if this type of mapping available with system
29 Exam Mapping Using Worklist
30 CR TRAINING AT NEW SITES If opening a new site, consider using full body Radiology mannequin for initial training for CR If mannequin not accessible, may recommend that vendor offer this as a charged service
31 CR TRAINING Applications Training for techs Document training using Competency Checklist Encourage techs to provide input during and after training Explain the importance of correcting exam info before sending to PACS Communicate and document location of product manuals for post Applications reference (physical copy vs. electronic copy on Intranet server)
32 CR IMAGE QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS Determination of acceptable Exposure Index Range for Image Quality and Dose Use vendor recommendations as a guideline until Radiologist approves final ranges Must process images using correct body part algorithm for appropriate index reading Communicate importance of achieving desired Exposure Index levels to techs Images processed with incorrect algorithms to be reprocessed
33 SUGGESTED KVP RANGES FOR CR Chest (Grid) 110 KVP Barium Enema (Solid Column) 110 KVP Barium Enema (Air Contrast) 90 KVP Lateral Spines KVP Portable Chest (Non Grid) KVP Skull/Facial Bones/Sinues 80 KVP Abdomen/Pelvis/AP Spine 80 KVP Ribs (Above Diaphragm) 70 KVP Extremities (Bucky) KVP Extremities (Non bucky) 60 KVP
34 CR IMAGE QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS Exposure Index (EI) Ranges used at various sites Fuji CR (S for Extremities; S Core Body) Kodak CR (EI for Extremities; EI Core Body) Konica CR (EI S ) AGFA CR (Lgm ) GE DR (DEI.26.78) Note: AAPM initiative exists to encourage vendors to standardize Exposure Index Values
35 Sample Exposure Index Cheat Sheet Used at local Dallas hospital
36 . Unfortunately, there is still a lot of overexposure occurring using CR, especially during early implementations, due to lack of adequate training.
37 Even though the displayed image looks good on the monitor, it can still be overexposed which can result in burnout of hairline fractures and subtle findings. The exposure index needs to be monitored as part of a QC program to maintain consistent image quality. Images: Physics of CR / J Anthony Siebert, Ph.D.
38 CR IMAGE QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS Set up Exposure Index software/ monitoring gauges to match desired acceptable levels Some vendors use colors as well as gauge Green within limits Yellow slightly outside limit, but OK Red outside limit Repeat Configure Rad Rooms so that Phototiming works with CR exposures
39 OTHER IMAGE QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS Determine use of grids for specific portable/cross table procedures Determine if wall bucky grid changes need to occur Allowing one versus multiple exposures on one imaging plate OK in short term if not using PACS Image quality can be degraded if good collimation not used Cannot window/level individual images on PACS Have to use only one processing algorithm when more may be needed
40 SECURITY AND QUALITY CONTROL Use of individual passwords needed for HIPAA compliance and to generate accurate statistical reports for each technologist Reject/Repeat Analysis (monthly) Exposure Index Report (monthly) Audit Report (determined by site) Imaging Plate Cleaning (weekly recommended) Imaging Plate Erasure (daily recommended)
41 Sample Reject and Repeat Software on CR unit

44 Sample Reject and Repeat Software on CR unit
45 Sample Reject Analysis Report
46 CLINICIAN ACCESS TO IMAGES POST CR IMPLEMENTATION Web based applications via PC CD s with Image viewers Film and Paper Images
47 CONCLUSION Adequate Planning and Training to facilitate the CR implementation process offers numerous clinical and workflow benefits for the Radiologists, Radiographers, Clinicians and Patients.
