Displaying Riverain ClearRead Xray resultsTopic number: 1616779297668

You can view X-ray studies processed by ClearRead Xray. The views displayed include bone suppressed, enhanced, and comparison images.

Prerequisite

The chest X-ray study has been processed by ClearRead Xray, a third-party algorithm developed by Riverain Technologies.

Enterprise Imaging forwards relevant studies—chest X-rays with at least one AP/PA view, formatted as CR, DX, or SC/Digitized film—to ClearRead Xray using ILM rules.

If the images are not sent automatically (and the integration is available), you can manually send the studies to ClearRead Xray for processing. In the Print and export dialog, select the ClearRead XRAY STORE SCP destination (the default AET is CLEARREAD_STORE) and select DICOM transfer or DICOM transfer & close.

For more information about the integration with ClearRead Xray, contact your system administrator.

To display Riverain ClearRead Xray results
  1. Open a chest X-ray study in the Image area.

    Relevant ClearRead Xray results are shown with the original study. The List area can indicate which exams have ClearRead Xray results available in a dedicated keyword column.

  2. Navigate through the series to view the ClearRead Xray results for the current study.

    ClearRead Xray results consist of one or more series of these five modules:

    1. Bone Suppress: Produces an enhanced soft tissue image by suppressing the bones (that is, the ribs and clavicles) in a standard PA or AP chest radiograph.
    2. Detect: A CAD system that aids radiologists in detecting regions of interest (ROIs) on PA or AP chest radiographs. Toggle the overlay (one or more circles identifying lung nodules) on and off using the Show/hide markups button. Show/hide markups
    3. Compare: Produces an enhanced residual (difference) image by subtracting a relevant prior chest X-ray from the current chest X-ray.
    4. Confirm: Produces an enhanced soft tissue image to improve the visibility of lines and tubes.
    5. Enhanced: Produces an enhanced image to improve the visibility of lines and tubes.
