Meeting Minutes

• Update:
  • The team finished the development of the phase 2 software. It will be installed over the phase 1 software. Tests will continue this week and installation will happen the 2nd week of July. The new version moves one image at a time. MGH will be the 1st site for installation, it has Santa with all the different imaging facilities (CT, MRI, US, Nuc med). Santa has phantoms and a couple of test patients.

• Presentation of mi2b2 project at ACRIN meeting
  • The team identified the ACRIN meeting as an excellent venue to introduce the project to a larger audience. There will be a session of the CTSA IWG on September 29 when we can present. Chris and Dan Marcus will do the presentation.
  • There is a t-con of the IWG Steering Committee scheduled for July 19, Randy would like to have a slide deck and a blur (goals, intro) to send to Dan Sullivan before the call.

• STAR-D workflow analysis
  • Wendy and Cynthia have been working hard on the workflow analysis. For images only, not report, to get report, one would go to the RIS.
  • Goals: be user-friendly
  • 3 intuitive steps: step 1: site selection and finding patients, step 2: finding studies and destination selection, step 3: transfer status and view.
  • 3 typical paths: 1. Serial top-to-bottom. Change to another site and repeat or log out. 2. Iteratively build up.
  • what can user save? They can save images. If someone wants to save a patient set, you can get scout list and delete what you don't want. Is is better to save search terms or search results? Here we start with the result, people will enter the accession numbers by hand.

At MGH, several PACS systems so even internally we might want to connect several PACS
