Radia is RIT's new diagnostic software for automated scoring and trending of image quality.
Current modules support:
Radia allows the user to meet TG142 and insurance requirements and provides objective results for trending and tracking image quality.
Radia is built around a base module which all users must purchase. The base module includes a dicom viewer, dicom receiver, and an extensive tool box of features to view images and make measurements, as well as directory browsers and filters.
Additional modules can then be purchased as needed. Currently there are three modules available:
Technical support can be contacted via email: techsupport@radimage.com or by phone at 719.590.1077 option 1.
Radia user’s manuals are located at C:\RIT\Radia\Users_Manual. The user’s manual can be accessed from the Radia software via the “Help” tab in the main menu.
RIT does not have WebEx for troubleshooting however we now have Logmein Rescue. Logmein gives RIT technical support remote access to our customer sites as long as there is unrestricted internet access.
Most often we can perform technical support over the phone or via email, but Logmein gives us the ability to see customer images, analyses and perform installations or upgrades to our software.
RIT also uses OnConference as a method for software demos and recordings. Contact RIT Technical Support for more information.
Radia has different modules to support multiple Phantoms.
The CT/MR module supports:
The Catphan/OBI module supports:

Crypkey is a process and third party software tool that is used to activate the Radia software license. Site keys are generated using the crypkey license manager. At times, tech support may have to lead you through troubleshooting of your installation if your license file gets corrupted or if the crypkey service stops.
The Radia development team has tested various screen resolutions and we have found that 1280x1024 is the best screen resolution for viewing images in the Radia software. Also, a minimum of 1g ram is necessary to run the Radia software. If you are working with larger images, 1g may not be adequate.

The Radia software is per seat and does not allow license transfers. Radia allows for multiple trend analysis data bases on multiple machines and/or multiple facilities. If Radia is to be used on multiple computers then multiple licenses will need to be purchased.
The Radia RunQueueC worklist is an automated method of batch processing multiple images. Add images to the worklist, select the proper Analysis Routine, select Analyze Selected, and create the desired report. Feel free to contact technical support for a demo.
Results can be exported from Radia in text, graphs, excel, customizable excel export, statistical and trend analysis, and PDF output.
The parameters in the Radia software were developed by strictly following the ACR and manufacturer's recommendations for image analysis. The software was further adjusted to meet the visual results of an average of the results of individual independent examiners. Radia is designed to provide objective and repetitive results. With this in mind, the Radia developers wanted to account for user preferences. The preferences can be accessed by right clicking in the results area outside of the graph. See the user's manual for specific adjustments on each test. An example showing how to set the Preferences for MR can be seen in this Video: Set Preferences for MR Slices 8-11.
The Dicom file filter can be used to filter a Dicom directory by sorting by fields or by an exemplar image. RIT provides exemplar images that are examples of ideal images that can be used to search the directory for images that match this ideal image. The user can also choose to replace the RIT provided exemplar images with one of their own.
To see examples of how to import and analyze single and multiple image see this video: Image Import Options Radia.
The "Write image to Dicom file" feature allows the user to export an image and anonymize or remove all patient and facility information. The user can also select to save the current window and level settings or trim the edges of the image.
There are tools available in the upper left corner of the image window for zooming, panning, viewing a square and circular ROI, and a measurement tool. Statistics of a measured line or a ROI are displayed. A profile through a line can be created by left clicking on the line. Statistics of this profile can be selected to be displayed. By right clicking in different windows the user can adjust the back ground color, print the panel, save the panel, adjust preferences, etc.
Any time the user clicks on the "add to the trend analysis" icon the results will be added to the data base. These trended results can be viewed through the "File/Open Trend Analysis Data Base" menu option or through the shortcut key.
Yes, there is a built in FTP option in Radia that will send images to our FTP site. But, be sure to also call or email us to describe the problem or question with the sent image. You can also use this tool to send to any FTP site.
