Structured Reporting (SR) and Key Objects (KO) Three actors for integration a teaching file: Export Selector: marking and coding images Export Manager: anonymize and process instances Receiver Actor: image archive and display Export Manager and Receiver provided with MIRC (RSNA) Export Selector is missing in most PACS-Solutions PACS workstation ILIAS e-learning http: //ww. e-learning. uni-mainz. de E-learning content Intranet Internet URL TCE Selector Open source software development (University Mainz ) Connection between PACS and MIRC Serves as TCE-Export Selector to most Workstations • view and select images in PACS-Workstation • DICOM (e. g. SR and KO) send to TCE-Selector • GUI for categorization and some other contens • additional Funktionality: pseudo-/ anonymisation • processing DICOM contens • creating „additional teaching file information (ATFI) and TCE manifests • Transmission the DICOM-object together with ATFI and TCE manifests to MIRC client computer Our TCE-Selector’s special Features Image content ZIP Submit Service Public MIRC Department MIRC http: //mirc. gesit. de MIRC Easy to use, streamlined workflow Provides graphical user interface to additional contents (e. g. history, findings, abstract) for each teaching file Provides user interface to enter the Rad.
