IHE Radiology -2006 Update Kevin O’Donnell,Toshiba Medical Systems Co-chair IHE Radiology Planning Cmte
IHE Radiology • Scope: • Radiology including Nuclear Medicine, Mammography • Modalities, RIS, PACS, Workstations, Displays, Printers • Established 1998 (first IHE domain) • Sponsor: RSNA
IHE Radiology - Achievements • Now entering 8th year • Robust Vendor Participation at Connectathons • Over 200 IHE Integration Statements published • IHE Profiles appearing in User Purchasing Processes • Have addressed basic radiology workflows • Acquisition, Post-Processing, Reporting, Teaching Files/Clinical Trials • Have addressed imaging content handling • Measurements, CAD Results, NM, Presentation States, Reports, Key Image Notes • Have addressed distribution of imaging information • on CDs, to EHRs, keeping Audit Trails

IHE RadiologyCurrent Activities/Direction • Facilitate deployment of IHE Profiles in the Market • Users Handbook (2005 Edition) • Additional Testing Tools • Expand focus to integration and workflow spanning departments/enterprises/regions • XDS-I • Importation Workflow • Expand support for specialties • Address NM, Mammography and others • Support Radiation Oncology Domain
IHE Radiology – Plan for 2006 • Development Schedule: • New Profile Selection: Oct 2005 • Issue Public Comment version: Feb 20 2006 • Public Comment Due: Mar 20 2006 • Issue Trial Implementation version: Apr 2006 • IHE Workshop Jun 2006 • RSNA Demo: Nov 2006 • IHE Connectathon: Jan 2007 • HIMSS Demo: Feb 2007 • New Profiles For 2006 • Image Fusion • Mammography Image • Import Reconciliation Workflow
Image Fusion Profile Use Case : • Acquire images on one (hybrid) or more scanners • Perform registration, prepare blending • Display registered, fused images
Image Fusion Profile Mechanism : • DICOM Spatial Registration Object • DICOM Blending Presentation State Benefits : • Standardize exchange of results while preserving innovation of algorithms • Support mixed vendor solutions
Mammography Image Profile Use Case : • Uniform acquisition and handling of Mammography Image data and Mammography CAD data
Mammography Image Profile Mechanism : • DICOM Mammography, DX & CR Objects • DICOM Mammography CAD SR Objects • Informative Appendix on expected behavior Benefits : • Ability to handle image sizing, positioning, air suppression, annotations, CAD results, etc. in a uniform way • More consistency in special purpose workstations • Availability of basic capabilities on general purpose displays and printers • Better integration of CAD processing in the workflow • Support mixed vendor solutions
Importation Reconciliation Workflow Profile Use Case : • a) Acquisition is outsourced to a non-networked site • b) Reading is outsourced to a non-networked site • c) Historical imaging is received from patient or prior institution • Data transferred on film or CD • Receiving system reliably reconciles the new data with local identifiers and workflow
Importation Reconciliation Workflow Profile Mechanism : • IHE Portable Data for Imaging • DICOM Modality Worklist • HL7 Demographics Feed Benefits : • Imported Data (CDs, Films) integrates into local workflow as well as local data • Support mixed vendor solutions
IHE Radiology Users Handbook • “Using IHE” for purchasers, system integrators & users • Real-world scenarios: acquiring a modality, RIS or PACS • Selecting IHE Profiles; Making the Business Case • Based on goals (e.g. reducing errors; increasing throughput) • Identify Profiles that contribute to each goal • Find products that support those Profiles • Specify Profiles in an RFP • Installing & Operating IHE Systems • Leverage electronic workflows • Install & Configure the systems • Do Acceptance Testing • Interface with non-IHE systems
Participating • Vendors • Implement IHE Profiles in your products • Test your products at the IHE Connectathon • Publish IHE Integration Statements • Users • Learn about the IHE Profiles • Include specific IHE Profiles in your RFPs(The Purple CT Effect) • IHE Process • Review Draft Profiles during Public Comment phase • Participate on Committees • Radiology Planning Committee: Kevin O’Donnell (Toshiba) • Radiology Technical Committee: Cor Loef (Philips) • Chris Carr (RSNA) – ihe@rsna.org
