Telemis : the MC-PACS solution.DR MONDET’s testimonial.

DR MONDET performs approximately 25 studies on a daily basis for the social security in Belgium. As far as medico-legal studies are concerned, he collaborates with more than 120 experts. Unlike most of the official experts, he dedicates more than 80% of his time to these assessments, which equates to approximately 1000 studies annually. In addition he has high-performance IT equipment at his disposal. Diagnostic services, in general, rely on medical studies available on CD-ROM, or on studies performed on site, or subcontracted to an external medical imaging center. This especially relevant for MR and CT scans.

As to the assessments, the study number greatly exceeds, by three to four times, the number realized in a hospital environment. Overall, conventional radiography and echography are combined, and a CT or MR scan is regularly added.

Before installation

DR MONDET : "My challenge is to go filmless by using a CD-ROM for each patient, together with the option to have a paper printout whenever necessary. Among my top priorities is the automatic input of the various CD-ROM formats for my assessments, the archival of pre-selected studies (amongst others, a mammography archive) and to read data from monitors using a user-friendly application".

After installation

DR MONDET: " The use of MC-PACS brings important added value for my daily activities, such as :

• more than 25% decrease in workload for diagnostic radiology;
• smooth follow-up of the assessments;
• online medical imaging archive;
• efficient and fast CD-ROM management ".
