Hi,

AS per RAD Reference Material, There is no difference between Provide And Register Image Set ( RAD-68 ) and Provide And Register Document Set ( ITI-41 ) wsdl except RAD-68 may contain different content type code.

There is no separate component for RAD-68 in IPF as well, is it a safe assumption that ITI-41 transaction can be used to test/certify XDS-I.b profile As XDS Repository Actor ?

 Thanks,

Anurag Shrivastava

Hi,

Yes, from the data transfer point of view, RAD-68 is the same as ITI-41.
But you may need to implement additional processing logic (validation, etc.).

Hi Boris,

One difference is that the RAD-68 Imaging Document Entries contain a couple additional attributes (modality, exam and body part) which are necessary for supporting imaging documents.  It looks as though IPF does not support XDS-I in either the registering of these attributes or in the ability to query them.  Is this correct?

Thanks,

Clay

Hi Clay,

The documentation (IHE RAD TF-3 rev 12.0, around line #3780) states explicitely that RAD-68 uses the same physical data structures as ITI-41. So the additional attributes are in fact not additional, but represent special meanings of existing "generic" attributes. You can handle them from IPF, but IPF does not provide XDS-I.b specific accessors and validators for org.openehealth.ipf.commons.ihe.xds.core.requests.ProvideAndRegisterDocumentSet and its sub-elements.

Note: other transactions from XDS-I.b really use data types different from their XDS.b counterparts (e.g. RAD-69 "Retrieve Imaging Document Set" vs. ITI-43 "Retrieve Document Set"). But for RAD-68 it does not seem to be the case.

And, of course, your code contributions would be highly appreciated :-)

Best regards
Dmytro

Thanks Dmytro.  I see on line 3895, the eventCodeList may contain the acquistion modality and the anatomic region (body part), but I cannot find any reference to exam anywhere.  Do you know where this attribute is stored? You would think in the same place, so maybe it's just not documented?

DICOM codes are located in PS 3.16 (http://medical.nema.org/Dicom/2011/11_16pu.pdf), Annex B.

In particular, aquisition modality codes are located in CID 29 (p. 337);
anatomic region codes are located in CID 4, 4013, 4016, 4028, 4031, 4040, etc., depending on the aquisition modality.

Examples in the IPF simplified XDS data model:

Code acquisitionModalityCode = new Code("DX", "Digital radiography", "DCM");
Code anatomicRegionCode = new Code("T-28000", "Lung", "SNM3");

"DCM" is code system name for DICOM, OID 1.2.840.10008.2.16.4,
"SNM3" is code system name for SNOMED, OID 2.16.840.1.113883.6.5 ("SRT" in the DICOM documentation).

Examples in ebXML:

<rim:Classification classificationScheme="urn:uuid:2c6b8cb7-8b2a-4051-b291-b1ae6a575ef4" classifiedObject="Document01" nodeRepresentation="DX" id="id_3">
  <rim:Name>
    <rim:LocalizedString value="Digital Radiography"/>
  </rim:Name>
  <rim:Slot name="codingScheme">
    <rim:ValueList>
      <rim:Value>DCM</rim:Value>
    </rim:ValueList>
  </rim:Slot>
</rim:Classification>

Best regards
Dmytro

It seems that I misunderstood the question somehow.
AFAIK, the XDS/XDS-I data model does not provide any dedicated attribute for referencing exams. 
But, maybe, an XDS folder with title=exam_ID would work?

Thanks Dmytro.  After re-reading, I now understand that exam is not a specific attribute, and is just identified by various attributes (e.g. date, modality, body part, document type, etc.).

My understanding from http://www.ihe.net/uploadedFiles/Documents/Radiology/IHE_RAD_TF_Vol1.pdf section 18.3.4, is that
