PC reporting system for radiologists: practical use under PACS environment.

To evaluate the practical usefulness of several types of the reporting system especially for radiologists, we have developed and employed several reporting systems. We categorized those reporting systems as follows (1) stand alone PC reporting system; (2) linked reporting system with PACS environment; (3) integrated three-dimensional (3D) imaging workstation (WS) with the intranet. We have evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of those three systems, and compared between the reporting system without PACS and network reporting system with PACS. Using linked reporting system with PACS, radiologists could easily reference both previous reports and archived diagnostic images, and also make their teaching files quickly. In conclusion, the reporting system under PACS environment is found to be practical and helpful for Japanese radiologists.

[MR temperature monitoring by the proton phase shift (PPS) method with a 0.3T open-type MR scanner: experimental study].

Several MR parameters are sensitive to temperature change, notably, T1 relaxation time, proton phase shift (PPS) and diffusion coefficient. The PPS method has been considered for temperature monitoring during laser ablation owing to its tissue-independence and its ability to be used with a mid-magnetic field. Using the PPS method, we experimentally evaluated MR temperature monitoring with a 0.3T open-type MR scanner. Temperature change was reproducibly described as color mapping image. The PPS method was suitable for MR temperature monitoring in interventional MRI.
