Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota, announced recently that is about to establish a new imaging exam tracking system, the DICOM Index Tracker (DIT). This system will allow a comprehensive view of the radiation doses delivered to patients over time. DTI is among the first of its type, as it replaces manual tracking system with a new computerized one, reducing the time needed for collecting radiation dose delivery information at various medical facilities.
The DICOM Index Tracker was created by Steve G. Langer, Ph.D. at Mayo Rochester; it is currently under further development at Mayo Clinic in Arizona in collaboration with Arizona State University. DIT is able to track all the information based on the imaging procedures applied on a patient, such as radiation dose, scanner utilization, and several other types of information. All this information are gathered and prepared for access by authorized personnel later on.
