HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop Key Image Notes There is more to teamwork than images and reports With IHE, it is possible to attach « electronic post-it notes» to images to increase informal but critical communication between: – The Technologist and the Radiologist about specific examination events – The Radiologist and the Technologist about image quality issues – The Radiologist and other department clinicians (surgeon, orthopedist,..) – The Radiologist and colleagues about selection of images for conferences – The Radiologist to the Referring Physician, …..etc. Key Image Note Integration Profile provides a simple but cost effective communication mechanism

HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop Acquisition Modality and Image Creator A Key Image Note references one or more images In a Key Image Note, each image reference may also include a Presentation State. A Key Image Note is created as a DICOM Key Object Selection object. It contains: A Coded Title An optional user comment References to one or more objects (IHE applies it only to images) The Key Object Selection object belongs with the same DICOM study as the images it references. It is not required by IHE to support referencing of images outside of the study. IHE Scheduled Workflow rules may be applied to Key Image Notes (managed by worklist, storage commitment, PPS, etc.)

Notes can be queried by code. The user comments are meant to be informal.

HIMSS/RSNAApril 2003 Workshop Image Display Provides user interface to view images « flagged » by Key Image Notes (with optional creator comments). Applies a Presentation State if one is referenced along with image referenced when note is viewed. Allows user to select Key Image Notes from an Image Archive Actor via DICOM Query/Retrieve mechanisms (subset of keys used to query reports). Supports DICOM Key Object Selection Storage
