Cloud-based solution for patient radiation dose monitoring

Increase patient safety

Sectra DoseTrack allows you to easily track and compare the radiation levels on modality, examination or patient level. By monitoring your equipment with DoseTrack, you can rapidly detect if an x-ray device is exposing patients to too much radiation. The system can be configured to provide automatic alerts when radiation levels exceed established thresholds or on number of examinations. This allows you to identify possible failures that may result in an increased radiation dose in a timely manner.

With on-demand access to the most current dose data and dose information included in patient reports, it also supports follow-up of individual patients when a radiation incident is suspected.

Fulfill regulatory responsibilities

The system provides robust analysis capabilities for dose optimization to allow your organization to fulfill its responsibilities under the ALARA principles. It helps you identify needed actions, such as changing modalities for specific procedures, staff training to optimize the use of modalities, or imaging protocol revisions to ensure best use of equipment and staff. Consideration of patient size and demographics allow for effective organ dose calculations and patient risk assessment.

It is easy to export data from the system for reporting to regulatory authorities or for further analysis in Excel. Further, Sectra DoseTrack is a certified ACR software partner, approved to submit a hospital’s dose data to the US Dose Index Registry.

Multi-modality support and leading integration abilities

Sectra DoseTrack supports both the IHE Radiation Exposure Monitoring profile and the DICOM MPPS standard, enabling the connection of almost any modality to gain a complete dose monitoring solution. Dose information is accepted in all the commonly used data types (RDSR, MPPS, OCR, HL7, Manual Entry) ensuring a simple and proven integration to your radiology infrastructure. It also seamlessly integrates with third-party systems such as your RIS, EMR and Powerscribe 360, and it comes with the ability to dock specific components into other web enabled solutions.

Data security at the core

Data security has always been at the core of Sectra products and DoseTrack is leading the way. Hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud, all data is stored on encrypted disks (encryption at rest), and any data sent between the customer and the data center is also encrypted (encryption in flight). The data center is secured by firewall rules to only allow access point-to-point from named specific customers, which stops any access from other sources. All protected health information (PHI) is removed before sending, ensuring compliance with the latest guidelines of only storing data relevant to the operation of the solution.

More features and benefits

Dose history at the point of requesting and justification, image quality feedback and Fluoro skin dose at the point of reporting.
• Sectra DoseTrack allows the department to set and monitor DRLs in line with regulatory guidelines.
• Sectra DoseTrack assists customers in their compliance with Euratom, JC and other regulatory requirements.
• Sectra DoseTrack has a sophisticated yet simple to configure alerting system. This allows you to alert on dose which are too high, low, frequent fliers, etc.
