Abstract

Conventional RIS terminals are fixed onto desks etc. so that the operator have to be at the terminal when retrieving information. The RIS can not be used when radiographies are obtained in the patient room and written orders are used for operation. We have devised a mobile RIS unit using portable PCs equipped with bar-code readers and wireless LAN modules to address these problems. By implementing mobile RIS terminals, general radiology staffs were able to perform the procedures more efficiently since their movement were not restricted by the position of the RIS terminals. Also in the wards, written requests were abolished and the imaging parameters could be obtained instantaneously via wireless LAN. Bar-code readers were used to read information on the patient wrist-tags to prevent misidentification.
