Radiology (RIS)

A radiology information system: order imaging, schedule on a modality, acquire images (with PACS links), and have a radiologist report and sign off.

Medical → Radiology (/medical/radiology) shows the scheduled queue, studies awaiting acquisition/report, and those awaiting sign‑off.

Imaging orders

Medical → Radiology → Orders (/medical/radiology/orders) — create an order: patient, procedure, ordering provider, priority (Routine/Urgent/STAT), clinical indication, device/modality, and schedule. Modalities include X‑Ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Mammography, Fluoroscopy, Angiography, PET‑CT, Nuclear, DEXA. Status flows Requested → Scheduled → Patient Arrived → Images Acquired → Reported → Verified (or Cancelled).

Contrast‑allergy safety check

Ordering a contrast study for a patient with a recorded contrast/iodine allergy is flagged at order time, so the team can review before the patient is exposed.

Acquisition & reporting

Report entry (/medical/radiology/orders/{id}/report):

  • Technologist — record technologist, image count, DICOM Study Instance UID, and PACS URL (an Open PACS link to the viewer). Paste the full study link — if you omit the scheme, https:// is added automatically so the link always opens the external viewer (a scheme-less link would otherwise resolve inside the ERP and 404).
  • Radiologist — technique, findings, impression, radiologist name, optional teleradiology flag. Save keeps a draft; Verify signs off, locks the report, and releases it to the EMR.

A verified report is locked for good

Once Verified, the report is a signed clinical document: the Save button is withdrawn and the server refuses any further edit to findings or impression. (Previously the fields stayed editable and a later save silently rewrote a signed report while keeping the original signature.) Correcting a released report is an addendum workflow, which this module does not yet provide — raise a new study, or contact support.

STAT studies stand out, and the chart is one click away

STAT orders now render as a red badge with an alert icon on the worklist (they were already sorted to the top, but looked identical to Routine). The patient name links to the chart, and the report-entry screen carries Patient chart and Encounter buttons. From an OPD/IPD encounter, the Diagnostics panel offers Order imaging directly.

Procedures & devices

  • Procedures (/medical/radiology/procedures) — define imaging procedures: modality, body part, CPT code, contrast, duration, prep instructions, price.
  • Devices (/medical/radiology/devices) — modality inventory with DICOM AE Title and workstation, for worklist routing and service tracking.

DICOM/PACS aware

Orders carry the DICOM Study UID and a PACS link, and devices carry AE Titles — so the RIS lines up with your imaging worklist and viewer rather than living in isolation.
