Siemens Medical and the Chinese Medical Association Imaging Technology Branch jointly launched a 5G multi-center project, focusing on the standardized development of remote imaging inspections

December 24, 2021, Chongqing-At the 29th National Medical Imaging Technology Academic Conference of the Chinese Medical Association, Siemens Medical and the Chinese Medical Association Imaging Technology Branch announced the official launch of the 5G remote imaging inspection multi-center project. According to the plan, the two parties will learn from the experience of the "5G remote real-world imaging examination demonstration center" platform of the Department of Radiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and carry out 5G remote multi-center promotion and application in many medical institutions across the country to help medical institutions at all levels in my country to form imaging technology standardization , Homogeneous collaboration system to further improve the level of medical services. At the same time, the China Good Technician Competition, hosted by the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and exclusively supported by Siemens Healthcare, was officially launched. Landing.

The 5G remote imaging inspection multi-center project is led by the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and Siemens Medical provides remote scanning technical support. It brings together the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University and Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology , The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and many well-known hospitals in China. At the event site, many imaging experts jointly discussed the clinical significance and broad prospects of the 5G remote imaging multi-center model, and discussed with Professor Li Zhenlin, Siemens Medical Greater China Vice President of Imaging Diagnostic System Huang Yi, and Siemens Medical Greater China Vice President and Enterprise Peng Tao, head of the Service and Solutions Division, jointly unveiled the project.

Professor Li Zhenlin, Chairman of the Imaging Technology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Director of the Department of Imaging Technology of the West China Medical College of Sichuan University and Deputy Director of the Department of Radiology of West China Hospital, said: “The standardization of scanning is an important guarantee for the quality and safety of imaging examinations. This time, the Chinese Medical Association’s imaging The technical branch and Siemens Medical will jointly carry out the 5G multi-center project, and will use the “remote scanning” as the entry point to form an effective model that can be replicated and promoted from the advanced experience of the West China Medical Consortium. Through the development of multi-center collaborative projects, the nationwide 5G will be promoted. The development of remote inspection services in the direction of standardization, homogeneity, and precision has helped to improve the overall level of grassroots imaging technicians."

In recent years, with the rapid development of medical imaging, imaging examination has played an important supporting role in the development of clinical disciplines. However, the current standardization of image inspection still needs to be improved. On the one hand, irregular image inspection directly affects the clarity of the image, thereby affecting the accuracy of diagnosis, and even causing misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. On the other hand, the distribution of high-quality image resources is uneven, and most talented people are concentrated in big cities and large hospitals. The problems of weaker overall strength of grassroots units and irregular scanning are particularly prominent, which directly affect the quality of diagnosis and treatment of grassroots diseases.

With the launch of the 5G remote image inspection multi-center project, participating medical institutions will learn from the experience of the "5G remote real-world image inspection demonstration center" platform of the Department of Radiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, actively explore the standardized application scenarios of 5G remote image inspection, and summarize 5G The remote platform realizes the full-process standardized quality control work experience, and jointly promotes the standardized development of 5G remote inspection, thereby empowering the capacity building of imaging technicians. Through the promotion of 5G remote real-site image inspection technical standards and operating specifications, the advantages of multi-center experts are used to "improve quality and empowerment" to a larger range of grass-roots hospitals, and promote the ability of grass-roots hospitals' imaging technology talents to improve their capabilities through remote imaging technology platforms and give full play to images The leading role of technical subjects.

Peng Tao, Vice President of Siemens Healthcare Greater China and Head of Enterprise Services and Solutions Division, said: “Siemens Healthcare combines precision imaging inspection technology with leading Internet of Things solutions through continuous technological innovation, and launched a unique The 5G remote real image inspection platform provides strong support for hospitals at all levels to uniformly improve image quality and improve disease diagnosis. I am very happy to work with the Chinese Medical Association Imaging Technology Branch to jointly promote 5G remote image inspection and make advanced medical technology better Serving doctors and patients, promoting the sinking of high-quality medical resources, and realizing a new pattern of standardized and hierarchical diagnosis and treatment."

"5G remote real-world image inspection platform" is a digital remote image scanning auxiliary platform jointly created by West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Siemens Medical. Based on Siemens Medical’s unique 5G virtual cockpit technology, the platform can provide users with remote assistance with imaging equipment, not only can see the patient’s physical signs and movements clearly and clearly, realize real-time standardized remote diagnosis and treatment, but also can remotely assist in the control of equipment and guide scanning Parameters and image post-processing, and provide convenient solutions for remote training technicians. As early as March 2020, the integrated shelter CT equipped with Siemens Medical’s 5G remote technology was put into use in the front line of Hubei’s anti-epidemic, and successfully connected to the West China Hospital thousands of miles away, realizing the country’s first cross-provincial 5G remote real-time guidance CT scan Diagnosing new coronary pneumonia helps the hospital to further improve the speed and accuracy of CT diagnosis and avoid cross-infection. This case was also awarded the first prize of the "National Excellent Case Selection of Informationized Epidemic Prevention and Anti-epidemic".
