Workflow, Workflow, Workflow!

With over 3000 systems installed worldwide, TIMS Medical has worked extensively with speech pathologists to optimize workflow to make their recording, review, and analysis of modified barium swallow (MBS) studies more efficient. The result is customizable workflows from the extremely simple to the power user, and everything in between! For example, for the simplest workflow: (1) Input the patient information by a simple query of the DMWL from your RIS. (2) Record the entire speech study with synced audio automatically (with no interaction necessary with TIMS) from the fluoroscopy system. (3) Send the resulting DICOM study (with one click!) to PACS and/or a TDRS system in the speech pathology lab or office. For power users, extensive functions are available on both the TIMS recording system in the fluoroscopy room, and on the TDRS remote review system:

Custom swallow consistency labels can be annotated on each video segment
Editing of the studies
Swallow segments can be timed with a stopwatch timer in 1000s of a second
Extensive review & analysis with backward play, play at any frame rate, frame-by-frame analysis, contrast / brightness / zoom
Add audio comments to the study
Calibrated measurement and graphic telestration

TIMS DICOM Review Software

TDRS is a software-only version of the TIMS system (no video acquisition hardware). TDRS can be installed on any Windows 7 or 10 computer in the speech pathology lab, office area, or anywhere in the hospital. To speed workflow and immediately free up the fluoroscopy suite for the next patient, the speech study can be instantly sent over the hospital network from the TIMS system in the fluoroscopy suite to one or more TDRS systems throughout the hospital. Speech pathologists can then edit, annotate, review, and analyse the studies, free from the pressure of creating a bottleneck in the fluoroscopy suite, in the comfort of their own office or lab area.

TIMS Diagnostic Imaging

The number of applications for TIMS is nearly endless. TIMS can be an essential tool in any department that uses diagnostic imaging – Radiology, Cardiology, GI, Urology, Endoscopy, Dermatology, Pathology, Motion X-ray, and more. Our customers are finding new ways to use TIMS almost every day. In fact, the current TIMS version that is available today is a direct result of the customer feedback that we have received over the years. We listen to our customer’s feature requests and do our best to implement them in future releases. TIMS has evolved as our customers needs have evolved.

“TIMS is by far the leader in the medical imaging industry when it comes to capturing still and motion video studies. Because of its unique streaming capabilities, many of our diagnostic imaging customers are utilizing TIMS for all of their motion procedures such as: angiography, fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine and ultrasound procedures, barium swallows, catheterization procedures, and others. Don’t be fooled by other DICOM conversion boxes that claim to capture streaming video, but in fact can only capture mere seconds of a study. TIMS is the only DICOM conversion system available today that is capable of capturing an entire study to be sent to a PACS or other archiving system”.

TIMS is used in many different applications across the country and around the world.

TIMS can be an essential tool in any department that uses diagnostic imaging – Radiology, Cardiology, GI, Urology, Endoscopy, Dermatology, Pathology, Motion X-ray, and more. TIMS can convert any non-DICOM modality to DICOM and then connect it to the PACS, or TIMS can simply connect a DICOM ready modality to the PACS thereby eliminating any destination charges from the modality vendor.

Many of our customers appreciate TIMS intuitive interface and useful editing feature. Because TIMS is a compete workstation, a technician is able to review and edit out extraneous images prior to sending to PACS. This assures that the radiologist only sees the views that are pertinent to the clinical diagnosis.
