Our clinical trials systems are the primary method of electronic medical image management for large, multi-center research studies. One such study is the five-year $37.5M NIH-funded Heart Failure Clinical Research Network, comprised of hundreds of echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging scans from more than 50 different academic medical centers. To date, Heart Failure Network sub-studies include SMMART-HF, DOSE-AHF, and RELAX.
Importantly, our systems don't just securely transmit the raw DICOM data from the sites to the corelab(s) but also control the DICOM patient ID and scan description tags (see below), meaning the data arrive at the corelab "clean". By combining electronic image uploading with control of patient tracking numbers, the costs associated with human errors during site-to-corelab data submission are virtually eliminated.
Perhaps more importantly, because WebPAX systems require nothing more than a web browser the site and corelab can view the submitted images simultaneously during a telephone conversation, meaning that issues such as possible missing images can be resolved in minutes instead of days.
