January 8, 2024

We are pleased to announce a new software release with multiple new features and fixes:
  1. Method of Detection
  2. Updated Workup +/- Tool
  3. Add/Update Contrast and Device Options
  4. Taxonomy Updates
  5. Application behavior and performance updates

Method of Detection

The ACR defines Method of Detection as “…the first imaging test or sign or symptom that triggered the subsequent workup and diagnosis of breast cancer.”  For more information about the ACR guidelines, please visit: https://www.acr.org/Clinical-Resources/Breast-Imaging-Resources/Method-of-Detection

 

In Ikonopedia Method of Detection (MOD) is not enabled by default, but can be enabled and configured with automation. Please submit a ticket with our support team to enable and configure this feature.

 

When selecting a BI-RADS 4 (4a, 4b, 4c) or 5 from the Diagnostic Mammogram, Ultrasound, and/or MRI reporting pages, the MOD is selected based on information previously gathered in Ikonopedia.  If the first encounter with a patient that identified a suspicious finding was a BI-RADS 0 screening mammogram, one of the screening mammogram options (Sma or Sdbt) will automatically be selected.  This is also true if the patient or a care provider was noted in the patient questionnaire as finding a concern during a physical examination. The radiologist still has the option to click on the Other Mod button and change the MOD when needed.



A radiologist will still have the option to click on the Other MOD button and change the MOD if needed.



Below is a sample of the configuration sheet.



Updated Workup/Resolution Tool for MG and MRI

We have updated mammography and MRI modalities to match resolve/workup functionality found in diagnostic ultrasound. The purpose of the Workup +/- dialog is to quickly resolve or workup imaging concerns from a prior exam.

Note: For mammography, a similar feature has been replaced with the functionality of the version found in Ultrasound.

Add/Update Contrast and Device Options

  1. Gadoterate Megiumine contrast has been added to the MRI and Biopsy modules
  2. Gadopiclenol has been updated to Vueway
  3. Hologic Brevera 12g device added to Biopsy module
  4. Mammotome DualCore 12g and 14g devices added to Biopsy module

Taxonomy Updates

  1. When no prior reports/images are available in Ikonopedia: This verbiage has been updated to say "No prior examinations are available."
  2. Implants - Tissue Expander:  "There is a tissue expander implant."
  3. Implants - Uncertain Type: "There is an implant of uncertain type."
