PHOENIX has been designed to act as a Radiology Consultant.
The PHOENIX Radiology Consultant was developed at the University of Chicago to help referring physicians select the most appropriate radiologic procedures. The system saw quite frequent use during a two-year clinical trial, and appeared to help improve the process of selecting imaging procedures. The system was taken off-line because some of the knowledge became out-dated. PHOENIX is to be superceded by a system called ISIS (Intelligent Selection of Imaging Studies).
ISIS is a decision support system that helps primary-care physicians select imaging procedures and order the most cost-effective diagnostic imaging studies.
