3. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 2 Access to Radiology Information Abstract / Scope Provides access to radiology information within the rest of the hospital (e.g., ER, OR, cardiology, oncology, etc) –Images, evidence documents, presentation states, key image notes, structured radiology reports Query and retrieve based model

4. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 3 Access to Radiology Information Multiple Sources Option Abstract / Scope Allows user access to distributed Radiology information –Describes how users can query multiple information sources

5. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 4 Access to Radiology Information Value Proposition Improves data accessibility by making radiology information available within the hospital –Makes data from different sources available with a single request (Multiple Sources Option) Improves patient safety by reducing the use of incomplete imaging records (Multiple Sources Option)

6. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 5 Access to Radiology Information Value Proposition (2) Improves efficiency by eliminating the need to perform multiple searches to access complete imaging records (Multiple Sources Option) Cost effective solution for finding the pertinent information for the patient in the Radiology domain

8. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 7 Access to Radiology Information Standards Used DICOM Query/ Retrieve –Defines Matching keys for response filtering by Image Manager/Archive –Defines Return keys to be requested by Image Display –Defines Returned attributes supported by Image Manager/Archive in query responses –Defines Returned attributes required to be displayed on Image Display

9. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 8 Access to Radiology Information Actors/ Actor Requirements Image Display / Report Reader: –Required to support the specified query matching and return keys as a “client” (DICOM SCU) Image Manager / Report Manager: –Required to support the specified query matching and return keys as a “server” (DICOM SCP)

10. June 28-29, 2005IHE Interoperability Workshop 9 Access to Radiology Information Multiple Sources Option Actors/ Actor Requirements Image Display / Report Reader: –Must be able to query from multiple sources and consolidate the results Image Manager / Report Manager: –No additional query or retrieve requirements, but must support Patient Information Reconciliation (PIR)
