JPG means that this data set is transmitted compressed (according to the consensus conference). See also Loose et al: Compression of digital images in radiology - results of a consensus conference. Rofo. 2009 Jan;181(1):32-7. doi: 10.1055/s-2008-1027847.

Make sure that the search field is empty. By deleting the filter entry, all records will be displayed again.

Some PACS manufacturers require a search query that distinguishes between upper and lower case letters. For example, "schmidt" does not return any results, but "Schmidt" does.

The reference lines (section planes) are calculated from the DICOM files using the Image Orientation Patient (0020,0037) and Image Position Patient (0020,0032) parameters. The lines are only displayed if these data are available or valid sections can be calculated from them.

mRay offers the possibility to create a temporary link to studies or series. This can be sent to the expert, e.g. by mail.  The link is protected against unauthorized access with a PIN.

The causes can be very diverse. You can see the current transfer rate during a download in the side menu by clicking on the mRay logo. Check over which connection you are currently connected, i.e. WLAN or mobile data.

  1. Check your connection type. You may be on the mobile network and have used up your data volume.
  2. Are you downloading other stuff outside of mRay? This can reduce the transfer rate.

mRay Cloud

  1. There may be temporary fluctuations in data rates. If the problem persists, contact support@mbits.info.

mRay in the clinic

  1. If you are in the clinic WLAN, please contact your clinic IT.
  2. If necessary, perform an independent speed test. If the values achieved differ greatly from the transmission speeds in mRay, contact your clinic IT.

Teleradiología

Yes. Under certain conditions, this is even possible on a tablet. You can find out more about this at https://mbits.info/downloads/mRay-Nutzungsanweisungen_Befundung.pdf.

Yes. This is also possible without mRay internal calibration.

We refer to the following consensus and its results (JPEG compression factors). Quote: "In a consensus conference (Loose et al. 2009), the topic of image compression of DICOM data was discussed with radiologists, medical physicists, industry and government representatives. Based on the 56 highest rated studies selected from 216 publications, as well as the largest study currently published from Canada, they discussed whether image compression is possible without reducing diagnostic image quality, and if so, what factors should be considered. The result of this conference, which was attended by more than 80 experts, was published in the journal "RöFo - Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Röntgenstrahlen und bildgebenden Verfahren" at the beginning of 2009.

The manual measurement of the partial distance is one of the test points of the constancy test, which must be performed monthly. Regular measurement, e.g. every working day, is recommended.

Yes, when changing the location, the following points must be checked again: initial measurement of the transmission time (6.2.2), completeness of the data transmission (6.2.3) (DIN 6868-159).

VEOcore análisis de perfusión

Check whether the host application or the sending device (PACS or CT/MR device) has issued a warning or error. If not, carefully check that you have sent all the required and the correct input images. Try sending the images again.

Review the motion correction report to estimate the severity of the motion and check for false alarms in the segmentation. If you have doubts about the reliability of the results, do not use them for your decisions.

Review the qcontrol_bolus report and check the time curves. If they are very noisy, interpret the results carefully. If no bolus is visible in the time curves, this may be due to a problem with the contrast medium injection (not flowed in or flowed in too late). In this case, you can repeat the measurement.

Core segmentation is based on a global threshold of 30%. This does not take into account differences in gray and white matter. Check this visually with the contralateral counterpart or in the qcontrol_flowstats report. Consider that severe microangiopathy can lead to relevant hypoperfusion, potentially resulting in false positive CBF core segmentation. If you have doubts about the reliability of the results, do not use them for your decisions.

Very small lesions in the range of 1-2mL can be smoothed away by mask generation.

In this case, the coregistration between perfusion and diffusion was faulty and diffusion and flair were mistakenly twisted to perfusion.
Unfortunately, coregistration errors can occur due to algorithmic reasons (keyword "local minimum").
Basically, the "fallback" strategy described in the user manual applies in case of erroneous evaluations:
Visual check of coregistration => if incorrect,
visual interpretation of results => if unclear or not possible, do not use evaluation.

  • Other evaluations were in progress or pending. Perfusion analysis using VEOcore is very computationally intensive, which is why mRay can usually only perform one evaluation at a time. Therefore, delays may occur with multiple evaluation requests.
  • The dispatch of the study from the PACS was so slow that the perfusion evaluation has already been started in the meantime. Unfortunately, it is not apparent when all the data is sent when it arrives. If the logic condition for starting the evaluation is fulfilled beforehand, this problem may occur under certain circumstances. The incorrectly started evaluation is then aborted and restarted. At the end, however, the correct and complete results should be available.
It is necessary to distinguish two things in the present evaluation, one is the calculation of volumes and mismatch ratio and the other is the warning about the characteristics of bolus progression.
 
For the first point, the cause may be that a volume determination with the scanner you are using is not possible to reliably match the calculated values with the DEFUSE3 criteria. This is the case, for example, if your scanner only records 4 slices, i.e. only a partial image of the brain. The calculated values would then have no significance. However, the fact that a perfusion evaluation in the form of the perfusion maps is nevertheless available for such images may well be useful for other questions and it is therefore calculated.
 
Die Warnung “Bolus very low” bedeutet, dass ungewöhnlich wenig KM im Gehirn ankam, dadurch können die Ergebnisse recht verrauscht sein. Gründe dafür können sein:
- Comparatively little contrast medium given
- special cardiovascular situation or very heavy patient, so that little contrast medium reaches the brain
- Problems with the injection (not correct or everything flowed in)

mRay uses a standard DICOM interface for communication with the PACS. There are 2 possibilities:

    1. Push Principle. Sending from the PACS from a workstation via DICOM C-Store.
    2. Pull Principle. Search in PACS with request for a study on DICOM C-Find and C-Move.

The data security measures are as follows:

  1. Establishing an encrypted connection
  2. Separation of image data and metadata

VEOcore análisis de perfusión

Perfusion analysis of brain images allows visualization and quantification of low-perfusion tissue (penumbra), non-perfusion tissue (core tissue), and the mismatch ratio between the two values. The calculated values can be used to support decision making based on the assessment of the extent of tissue damage.

Usually, the evaluation can be started automatically in the standard configuration. If required, the possibility for manual evaluation can be set up.
