Rogan WebView Pro
Image distribution in a OnLine XS PACS environment
Web technology is playing an ever more dominant role when it comes to
the distribution of images and reports on a large scale to other users in or
outside the hospital. Rogan's WebView Pro offers you a cost-effective way
to integrate your PACS with a RIS and link it to other systems, such as
medical databases, lab systems etc. Studies can now be accessed in or
outside the hospital via Internet or Intranet. Viewing tools provide image
manipulation for review of the images. As Conventional PCs can be used
as viewing stations (clients), no special software has to be installed on the
client side. Administration of the client stations is not necessary and
automatic upgrading of the client saves time and money compared to
manual software updates and upgrades.
The WebView Pro Server
The core element of the system is the WebView Pro server. It receives
data from Rogan's XS OnLine archive (for example pre-selected data that
has been diagnosed and reported) that in turn can be downloaded by the
clients. The server can act in this way as a buffer for the main archive,
reducing the access load on the OnLine XS archive. The WebView Pro
server operates in accordance with the DICOM standard, to provide a
viewing capability for all major medical applications, such as MR, CT and
US. A flexible license mode (depending on the current user license) controls
the number of active users. The licensing model considers only concurrent
users that work simultaneously on the system, so you only pay for
what you need.
WebView Pro Clients
The viewing part of Rogan's WebView Pro can be installed on most Windows
operating systems, running Internet Explorer 6 or above. An intuitive
user-interface creates easy access to your images and reports. The
usage of Microsoft's Netmeeting increases functionality by allowing information
to be shared with others via the Intranet or Internet. The clients
can also be set up in an Application Service Provider (ASP) environment,
expanding the possibilities of your installation.
Security and Deployment
Rogan's WebView Pro has several built-in security features, guaranteeing
that image information is only seen by those people authorized to do so.
Examples are access rights and administration rights, which are controlled
via the WebView Pro Server. Access protection demands user name and
password from every user for authentication. An administrator defines exactly
which user or User Group have rights to view and access certain
parts of the database. In this way every user can only view data for which
he has been given specific access rights to. The transfer of data is secured
using encrypted data transmission between server and client. In addition,
it is also possible to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that assures the
highest possible data security.
At first log-on, WebView Pro software components (Active X) are automatically
installed on the viewing stations. Manual installation, which is
often required with other plug-ins, is not necessary and updates are performed automatically.
Integration, HIPAA and IHE
Rogan's WebView Pro can be integrated with RIS systems in order to
load images and reports together on one web page. Integration is made
via Rogan's LINK Pro, software that receives report information in a
HL7 or ASCII format, and forwards it to the server. The centralized architecture
of EOL (Everything On Line) OnLine XS PACS provides a controlled
audit trail of all data movements. This is of the highest importance
when you are required to keep track of the information flow, as
regulated in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA), currently in force in the USA. Rogan Delft follows IHE for development
of its software. For more information please consult your Rogan
Distributor.
Rogan WebView Pro
Rogan WebView Pro offers many functions for image editing and
manipulation and covers the entire range of medical viewing requirements
within and outside of a hospital. New functions such as extended
layouts and the display of overlays and shutters are included. Teleradiology,
which preferably uses conventional phone lines, now allows
preloading of the images on to a client computer. These images can be
stored in a local clipboard for an entire session. This can significantly
accelerate access to the data. Furthermore, image data can now be decoded
progressively, enabling images to be loaded continuously in the
background until complete.
Rogan WebView Pro +
Rogan WebView Pro+ is a new product for users that wish to extend their
capabilities with a more advanced viewing environment. Compared to
WebView Pro, additional functionality is offered and dual monitor support
is provided. The WebView Pro+ features various measuring functions, a
magnifying glass and gamma correction allowing optimization of image
display. Images can be exported to the client for inclusion in an email or
for use in other software programs.
Speed: the most important feature
The most critical issue that determines if a medical Web Viewer will be
successful is speed. The viewing element of Rogan's WebView Pro works
with Active-X components, ensuring fast image manipulation. Transmission
speed depends on file size and type of connection (ADSL or ISDN
are recommended). If retrieval of larger files is necessary, WebView Pro
offers the user the ability to choose if image compression is employed.
WebView Pro supports various compression methods.
Hospital-wide usage
Rogan WebView Pro supports a large number of modalities, making the
workstation not only suitable for Radiology, but also for other departments
that deal with medical images, for example Pathology, Medical
Photography, Endoscopy, Nuclear Medicine etc. Rogan WebView Pro has
also been successfully integrated in a number of cases with Hospital EPR
(Electronic Patient Record) Systems.

Very often there is a need to acquire additional capability in our health care facilities but there isn't always the funds to purchase a new, full-functioned, state of the art, diagnostic imaging system. Therefore, a decision must be made to determine if the additional services can be shifted to another facility or if it is critical or at least necessary to remain at your facility. The decision usually comes back that it needs to remain and options to accommodate it must be considered.

Digital Radiography - Electronic X-Ray - When, Why and How?
It seems like we have crossed the healthcare frontier and the only thing left to conquer is analog or film based x-ray systems. MRI's, CT's, Ultrasound, PET, Bone Densitometry, Mammography and most diagnostic imaging systems output digital data, that is except for Radiography and Fluoroscopy. Most existing systems are still analog and put out either x-ray film and/or analog video. Although most mobile C-arms are now being produced with digital output capability, most existing C-arms, X-ray systems and R/F systems have not yet been upgraded. When you consider that today there are more x-ray studies done than any other modality study, we should concede, we are way overdue in moving to electronic Rad and Fluoro. These upgrades should probably be initiated before all others at medical facilities today.

The decisions are getting harder when we try and determine what our facility should invest in to provide the best patient care. 256 slice CTs, 3.0T MRIs, Digital Mammography, PACS Upgrade, EHR and so on....? We first try and determine our available budget or we are asked to submit a request for funds based upon current and future requirements, local competition and/or physician requirements. It is now necessary to take a long hard look at what is currently being utilized and determine how best to enhance capabilities. You probably begin to bring in vendors to discuss the capabilities of their new systems, as well as potential costs. If you are like many administrators, you immediately get a large blast of reality $$$$$$$. You instantly know that you will be limited to one purchase or less and it's possible funding won't be available for several years. If you are experiencing growth, patient count is increasing, test procedures are on the increase, and avaliable system time is becoming harder and harder to come by, then you know you will need to upgrade Radiology capacity.
