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

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
