GE’s Centricity RIS gets smart

May 19, 2008 GE’s Centricity RIS gets smart Greg Freiherr -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Radiology reporting on the GE Healthcare Centricity RIS just got smarter with an intelligent algorithm that senses when dictated cases don't sound right. This "thought checker," scheduled to begin routine shipment by the end of this year as an upgrade to the Centricity RIS-IC Reporting module, uses the context of reports to identify possible errors. The program, for example, might question whether the radiologist meant "left occipital lobe" rather than "right" by highlighting the directional term in blue. Or it might insert a red bar at a point where certain information needs to be added. "It understands the concept of left and right and the need for certain measurements," said Michael Mast, GE senior manager of commercial marketing in the imaging integrated IT business unit. "It serves as an extra check in that it gives the radiologist a chance to clarify some points in a report."
