Radiology Worklist Integration (PACS)

Radiology Worklist Integration (PACS)

I built a DICOM/HL7 integration that provides automatic worklists to radiology devices.

The problem it solves

On a radiology device without worklist support, patient details are typed in at the machine. That is both a workload repeated at every examination and a step that carries the risk of imaging the wrong patient.

What it offers

  • Radiology devices receive the patient worklist directly from the system
  • The step of typing patient details at the machine disappears
  • During the migration to PACS, device integration runs through a single flow

Technical approach

The integration was built on DICOM and HL7, the standard protocols of medical imaging, with the connection layer written in C#. Choosing the standard protocol over a device-specific solution means devices added later can join the same flow.

What changed

  • Manual workload fell and patient safety improved
  • Integration during the migration to PACS became considerably easier
