This is a solid walkthrough! I am a little bit allergic to the music in the background, but I am here for the information which is very helpful :) Will view the rest of the videos you got. Good job!
Oh, the music is a major distraction. I do not know why people add music to the KB videos on youtube. Like if you are in a bootcamp, at school, University or other training, music is played in the background. Otherwise it is well done. I would have also defined DICOM while defining VNA and PACS.
Hi, On the Dicom tag : (0018, 115E ) it stores the DAP value eg 1.149 with no units. It is known that DAP is expressed in Gy.cm2 but under dicom standards its given as dGy.cm2. I know they just differ by prefix and contextually they the same. How would I know what units my DAP value actually is ? My X ray was captured with a Siemens machine, and the image was complemented with a Dicom info. Since it follows Dicom standards can I assume it'll use dGy.cm2 as its units or could there be an exception to this ? Basically I'm asking if a system is following dicom protocols then they must have the the same units stipulated by Dicom standards or can they differ i.e instead of dGy.cm2, they present the value stored in this tag in Gy.cm2 ? Note: this is not a private tag. Thanks
Not really sure to be honest. Yes theoretically it should follow the DICOM standard but in our experience vendors could screw this up. I would confirm with the Siemens vendor just to be safe.
Sounds like you are asking for a safe way to install DICOM on a medical device. For the medical devices themselves, we expect the vendor/manufacturer to have already installed DICOM software. In some cases, we may need to purchase additional licenses from the vendor to install or active it. For networked devices that are not capable of using DICOM, it is possible to store images in a network share location. Then have a third party system pick up the images to store as dicom. We are unable to answer your question on how to install dicom on a medical device specifically as that is a question for a developer. To integrate dicom, it is fairly simple. You would just need to configure the AET, IP and port of your device. Then configure the AET, IP and port on the PACS. Explained here: pacsbootcamp.com/dicom-configuration/
So Question, do I just watch the free modules you have linked here and use the free practice exams and then apply for the certification, or must it be a CIIP program?
Sorry this question was missed. There is no official CIIP program. Any self study route of your preference works. You can choose to read books, take free courses, watch UA-cam videos, etc. As long as you meet the minimum requirements, you can take the certification.
Who has access to any of these PACS images. Are they protected with HIPPA laws? In other words if I go for a MRI can a insurance company view these MRI's without my consent?
Typically these PACS images are restricted to certain users in the hospital. For example physicians and other care givers. In order to view the images, a user must have access to the application(web link or installed app) + an active account to log in. Access to PACS is managed by the PACS administrators. Users are trained to abide by HIPPA laws to protect images. Insurance companies cannot just view the MRIs without your consent. For one, they will not have direct access to the PACS application. They cannot physically access the images as they are outside the hospital network. Additionally they will not have an active account to log in.
@@HealthTechnologywithBeek I am going for a IME next month for the insurance company. My lawyer told me to give the doctor no medical records or images from the past, only what pertains to my case. Can they look up any previous or current MRI 's or x-rays ? Or only what I elect to give them?
It's not "typically".. its the law that your images are protected by HIPPA and part of your medical record (at least in the USA). Therefore, since it's no different then anything else in your medical record, PACS images are protected and confidential just like your lab data, office notes or any other part of your health care record - they are only accessible by authorized providers/users.
Yes, perhaps we should have made that more clear instead of saying "discovery of radiation". Though didn't the Curies and Becquerel share the Nobel Prize in Physics for their combined efforts of the work since Becquerel's initial discovery in 1896? Don't think what we stated was wrong either. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks I'll consider removing the music going forward.

Great Video!!! So informative, and summarized everything so well!!!!
Thank you very much!
Great video! You have a new subscriber
Thank you for your support!
How does the Process work to install/integrate DICOM on medical devices? How save is it and how often is it used al ready?
