Once configured, little direct interaction with the Cenova server is necessary. Any
interaction with the server is through a web browser and a user-friendly interface.
3.1
Clinical Workflow
To view results produced by the Cenova server with the patient’s mammography
images, follow the guidelines of your workstation vendor. Radiologists typically review
mammography images using a protocol similar to the sequence shown in the following
table:
For this step
The radiologist
Preliminary Review
Reviews the mammography images to get a preliminary
sense of the patient's status.
DigitalNow HD
Compares prior digitized film images to the new
mammography images.
Hologic Imaging
Biomarkers
Reviews and notes the Biomarker findings.
Preliminary
Assessment
Examines the mammography images in detail and forms a
primary diagnosis.
Computer Aided
Detection
Views CAD marks and evaluates related ImageChecker
data to determine if other areas on the images warrant
further review.
Final Assessment
Makes a final assessment and creates a report.
3.2
Sending Images to the Server
The server accepts the images automatically as they are sent from the image acquisition
system, film-scanner, or archiving device. The Cenova server groups successive images
with the same DICOM study instance UID (unique identifier) into a case if the images are
received within a time-out period configured by the service representative upon system
installation. The time-out period is not fixed; the server automatically adjusts the time-
out period to maximize throughput. (For more information, contact Hologic Technical
Support.)
