Traditionally, radiology has been conceived as a support department providing patient scanning services to the other clinical departments in a hospital. However, recent advancements in networking technology and related information systems such as picture archiving and communication system (PACS) and radiology information system (RIS) provide new opportunities for inventing different types of diagnostic imaging businesses such as teleradiology. In this article, we examined the business processes of currently operating imaging centers and proposed a prototype of an information system that can facilitate their workflows in a more efficient way. The principal component of our proposed system is a report management module built on extensible markup language (XML) technologies that allows much flexibility and convenience for both imaging technicians and radiologists.
传统上，放射学一直被视为一个支持部门，为医院的其他临床科室提供患者扫描服务。然而，网络技术以及诸如图像存档与通信系统（PACS）和放射学信息系统（RIS）等相关信息系统的最新进展，为开创不同类型的诊断成像业务（如远程放射学）提供了新机遇。在本文中，我们研究了当前运营的成像中心的业务流程，并提出了一个信息系统原型，该原型能够以更高效的方式促进其工作流程。我们所提议系统的主要组件是一个基于可扩展标记语言（XML）技术构建的报告管理模块，它为成像技术人员和放射科医生都提供了极大的灵活性和便利性。
