Abstract
In 1999, we set out to create a radiology three-dimensional (3D) imaging service at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Our goal was two-fold: first, to integrate 3D image post-processing capabilities, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), and quantitative analysis into the routine clinical workflow; and second, to create an infrastructure generally more conducive to the transfer of new image-processing technologies from the research realm into clinical use. Initially, we found that although our institution possessed several 3D imaging workstations, they were used only occasionally for research purposes and, when a clinical request for 3D post-processing was made, the staff lacked the expertise and experience to fulfill those requests.
