Referral PACS

Ruby on Rails application that when coupled with a dcm4chee archive, provides image storage and coded reporting for chest radiographs.

Features:

  • Provides typical imaging workflow including worklists
  • Fully-coded form for reporting chest radiographs with free text impressions
  • FHIR DiagnosticReport and ImagingStudy GET interfaces
  • PDF report generation is also provided
  • Summary E-mail reporting for a given time period
  • Quality Improvement/Overread support
  • OpenMRS integration for demographic queries

Configuration

Rails stores configuraiton as .yml files in config/ .yml.dist files are provided as a starting point.

database.yml - standard rails database configuration file openmrs.yml - configures the integration with an OpenMRS instance dcm4chee.yml - if you're using a dcm4chee archive to store DICOM data email.yml - e-mail server settings, and distibution lists are defined here

Docker

After cloning the github repo you will need to build your containers.

docker-compose build

Once the containers are successfully built, create the rails configuration files. Minimum required configuration files are database.yml and openmrs.yml.

cp config/database.yml.docker config/database.yml

cp config/openmrs.yml.dist config/openmrs.yml

Next, we can run the rake scripts to create the mysql databases and tables:

docker-compose run web rake db:setup

We can load the database with a small amount of test data as defined in test/fixtures

docker-compose run web rake db:fixtures:load

At this point you should be able to browse to http://localhost:3000/ and login using username: admin and password: password.

The rails console is a particulary helpful tool, which allows you to interactively run rails code against your database.

docker-compose run web rails c

After all of the services are configured, they need to be started with

docker-compose up

FHIR Interface

Authentication is handled via simple API key, whch must be included as x-api-key HTTP header. For production, an IP address range check can also be implemented.

The DiagnosticReport interface supports searching

By Patient

http://localhost:3000/fhir/diagnosticreport?patient=9339MP-4

By Report Creation Date

http://localhost:3000/fhir/diagnosticreport?date=gt2018-04-05

By Report Creation Date Range

http://localhost:3000/fhir/diagnosticreport?date=gt2018-04-05&date=lt2018-09-18

Search Parameters can also be combined

http://localhost:3000/fhir/diagnosticreport?patient=9339MP-4&date=gt2018-04-05
