Scottsdale, AZ — PHS Technologies Group LLC, a division of PACSHealth, LLC and developer of innovative software that records and analyzes ionizing radiation data from medical imaging procedures, announced today that multi state radiology services provider Strategic Radiology® (SR®) will begin to use PHS’s DoseMonitor® 2.0 to monitor patient radiation exposure in its patient safety organization (PSO).
“We are pleased that Strategic Radiology®’s PSO will be using DoseMonitor®to monitor, report, and manage radiation dose in their clinical environments. This shows a true commitment to their patients and being on the forefront of the medical imaging industry,” said Mike Battin, COO of PACSHealth, LLC.
"The ability to effectively monitor radiation dose indices during certain medical imaging procedures has become increasingly important.” DoseMonitor is a single server, browser based software application that automates dose data collection and reporting. It fully integrates into an RIS, EMR, and the American College of Radiology’s Dose Index Registry, helping to eliminate time consuming manual steps and reducing input errors. Facilities can accurately depict historical exposure and compare, aggregate, and interpret data from ionizing radiation sources for an individual patient, exam, or between diagnostic modalities in multiple facilities.

“The primary function of the SR® PSO is to keep patients safe by monitoring their care and ensuring they receive appropriate medical imaging with the minimal amount of radiation exposure,” said Arl Van Moore, Jr, MD, FACR. "Through the DoseMonitor application, SR member groups can effectively monitor a patient’s dose history while also complying with industry regulatory requirements. It’s a winwin."
DoseMonitor’s capabilities include:
• Automated data collection for computed tomography (CT), mammography, direct radiography (DR), interventional radiography, and cardiac angiography.
• Advanced report generation, including dose by technologist by procedure, dose by physician by procedure, mammography reporting (organ and mean glandular dose), and age range support for alerts and notifications.
• Intelligent patient search—by name, partial name, medical record, and/or accession number.
• Compatibility with VMware®-based implementations, enabling hospitals to “virtualize” hardware on existing servers, reducing the need for new hardware and decreasing the total IT effort required to implement the solution.
