Cross-Vendor CT Protocol Harmonization
Multi-vendor CT environments face challenges with inconsistent protocol naming and organization. Our solution ensures standardization across all systems.
The Challenge
Healthcare facilities face several challenges with CT protocols:
- Inconsistent protocol naming between scanners
- Different series numbering conventions
- Varying reconstruction descriptions
- Incompatible hanging protocols due to naming differences
- Complex integration requirements
- Quality assurance needs
How It Works
The Solution
Capacitor provides real-time protocol standardization:
- Normalizes series descriptions across vendors
- Standardizes reconstruction naming
- Ensures consistent series ordering
- Maps protocol codes to facility standards
- Validates protocol compliance
- Maintains audit trail
Example Transformations
- "BONE" → "Standard Reconstruction"
- "SHARP" → "Standard Reconstruction"
- "B70f" → "Standard Reconstruction"
- Consistent numbering scheme
- Unified display protocols
Value Delivered
- Consistent reading experience across all vendors
- Reliable hanging protocol application
- Simplified protocol management
- Better integration with reporting systems
- Enhanced workflow efficiency
- Improved quality assurance
