Procedure Normalization

Many institutions have a PACS database containing thousands--and often tens of thousands--of uniquely-named procedure codes. Typically these are:

  • Studies Imported from outside institutions
  • Free-texted procedure descriptions from older modalities
  • Merged RIS lists from multiple sites

With an upload of your procedure code list, RadMapps can

  • normalize non-RIS procedure names and descriptions to standardized anatomic terms.
  • create a spreadsheet that Fuji will use to streamline your PACS database (view a spreadsheet of 10,000 procedures normalized).

Here is a patient's radiologic study history. Click the various links to view representative related and normalized procedures as they would be seen in the Power Jacket:
