Slide 1
In the Beginning:
Film
Film – the First Standard for Image
Exchange
In the beginning….
• open image exchange started with one reliable method:
FILM
Advantage:
• Everyone can view the Film
Issue: to be solved:
• Inconsistent visual quality
• Annotations, notes, etc. were attached “stuck-on”
IHE Solution:
• Consistent Presentation of Images (CPI) Integration Profile
– Grayscale Standard Display Function (consistent
images)
– Grayscale Softcopy Presentation State (Annotations)
Radiology Enters the Digital
Image Exchange:
Portable Media: CDs
Portable Media– the next interop challenge
CDs or coasters?
• Then came the introduction of CDs and other portable media,
but for most, was simply coasters for your morning coffee.
Issues to be solve:
• Media in-compatibility
• Inconsistent viewer capabilities
• No import method to reviewer’s view station
IHE Solution:
• Portable Data for Imaging (PDI) – Standard media format
• Basic Image Review (BIR) – Basic Viewer capability
requirements
• Import Reconciliation Workflow (IRWF) – Standard import
method
Electronic Images Sharing

The Image Exchange
Use of a shared XDS Community-based infrastructure to
access Radiology Reports and Images (XDS-I)
Between Radiology and :
•
Imaging specialists
•
Non-imaging clinicians
•
Patients

Physicians

PACS Z

Specifies how Radiology Information Objects, Both DICOM Instances and non-DICOM
Reports are distributed in an eHealth Community

XDS Affinity Domain Considerations
• Set of organizations/systems
organized around a single Registry
• Common set of Codes
• Single Patient ID Domain
• Involves business and legal
agreements
• Security model/agreements

Cross-Community
Image Exchange
Cross-Community Access of Images
(XCA-I) the next Sea change
Foundational with Standards incl. DICOM Web services
– DICOM WADO-WS supp-148)
Interoperable with clinical portals
– Compatible with IHE Web services profiles, including Security
and privacy
Interoperable with PACs and vendor neutral archives
– Ready for cloud hosted apps
Why extend XDS?
XDS only addresses document sharing within
an XDS Affinity Domain
Cross-Community addresses the questions:
 How to share documents between XDS Affinity
Domains?
 How to share documents with non-XDS Affinity
Domains?

Imaging Object Change Management
(IOCM)
IOCM specifies how to communicate changes applied on
existing imaging objects to other systems. Changes include
(1) rejection due to quality or patient safety reasons,
(2) correction of incorrect modality worklist entry selection,
(3) expiration due to data retention requirements.
IOCM is fully compatible with existing profiles!
