2.3.3.
Hologic Imaging Biomarkers Data Flow
The figure below shows the data flows among the various devices for the Quantra
application.
Image Acquisition Device(s)
1, 2, 3:
FFDM systems can be configured to send digital mammography x-ray images to
any device that conforms to the DICOM standard. The FFDM device sends two types of
images, For Processing images to the Cenova server, and For Presentation images to the
diagnostic review workstation(s) and PACS.
Cenova Server
4, 5:
The Cenova server sends Hologic Imaging Biomarker results (DICOM SR objects
or DICOM SC images) to one or more diagnostic review workstation(s) and/or PACS
devices simultaneously.
m
Note:
Because of the complex nature of DICOM SR objects, it is likely that only the
Hologic SecurView DX workstation will display Biomarker SR objects in the near term. It is
for this reason that the Cenova server can be configured instead to send Biomarker results as
DICOM Secondary Capture images.
Diagnostic Review Workstation(s) and PACS
1, 4, 7:
The review workstation(s) are configured to receive the For Presentation images
and Biomarker results, which are then reviewed by the radiologist.
6, 7:
As an option, the PACS can be configured to send:
•
For Processing images to Cenova (6), which processes the images and distributes the
Biomarker results according to its configuration, and/or
•
Biomarker results and/or For Presentation images to the review workstations (7).
