OraHealthX ImaginX a next generation cost effective medical imaging workflow management platform

Currently, several traditional IT systems exist for supporting workflows of medical imaging departments. However, there is the recognized need for the next step; an integrated and low cost open architecture platform which can manage various kinds of healthcare workflows. The implementation of such solutions can be achieved by intelligent integration of existing systems, the use of web technologies, the utilization of available web services and web semantic ontologies. Based on this approach, this paper presents an advanced, integrated web platform that is generic, agnostic, knowledge based, mobile oriented and supports all medical imaging workflows, complying at the same time with international standards and initiatives. Furthermore, the utilization of knowledge management techniques and semantic web ontologies facilitate prognosis and diagnosis procedures, increase productivity and improve the accuracy and reliability of medical diagnosis.
