Radiology & PACS in the Bridge HMS Suite: Imaging orders, modality worklist, DICOM viewer hand-off and radiology reporting

Imaging that lives on the patient record

The modality worklist feeds the scanners with the right patient; radiologists write reports against the study; studies, series and instances are indexed from DICOM and open in the viewer with one click.

Your PACS, your modalities

PACS servers (Orthanc, DCM4CHEE or your vendor's), modalities and the query/retrieve audit log.

Study / Series / Instance Hierarchy
- Three-Level DICOM HierarchyModel studies, their series and individual image instances as a linked Study to Series to Instance tree.
- DICOM Study RecordsCapture Study Instance UID, accession number, study date, description, anatomic region and body part examined per exam.
- Patient LinkageLink each study and worklist entry to the shared patient record for a unified patient imaging history.
- Study Lifecycle Status FlowTrack studies through Ordered, Acquired, Reported, Finalized and Canceled states on a status bar.
- Secondary Study StatusAdditional Scheduled/In Progress/Completed/Reported/Finalized/Canceled status captures the clinical workflow stage.
- Priority TriageFlag studies STAT, Urgent, Routine or Research for radiology triage and a dedicated STAT filter.

- Unique Accession CheckThe app keeps worklist accession numbers unique.
DICOMweb & Viewer Integration
- QIDO-RS Studies ServiceExposes /pacs/dicomweb/studies returning studies as DICOM+JSON, filterable by PatientID, AccessionNumber and modality.
- Study Metadata ServiceExposes /pacs/dicomweb/studies/<uid>/metadata returning study and per-series metadata in DICOM+JSON.
- OHIF Viewer Launcher/pacs/study/<id>/viewer renders an OHIF viewer page embedding the study by UID against its server's DICOMweb URL.
- Q/R Query Audit LogRecords every patient/study/series/image query with level, criteria, result count, status, user and error message.
- Q/R Audit AnalyticsKanban, pivot and graph views with Failed/Completed filters and grouping by server and status for query auditing.

- Unique Modality CodeThe app enforces unique DICOM modality codes.
Automation & Scheduled Jobs
- Automatic daily Study-Count SyncDaily check pulls live study counts from each active Orthanc/DICOMweb server, falling back to local counts on failure.
- Hourly Stale-Study FlaggerHourly check posts a warning on acquired studies older than 7 days that still have no report.
- Weekly MWL PurgeWeekly check deletes worklist entries canceled more than 90 days ago to keep the worklist clean.
