    • IHE Radiology Domain Report
      • Motion to approve report to present to Board - carried unanimously
  • Pending
    • PCD - Officially due in June. Contacted co-chairs for report.
    • Anatomic Pathology - Due in April. LAB and ANAPATH domains to merge - next steps to be discussed at F2F meeting in Paris (mid-May).
    • LAB/ANPATH merge update
      • LAB is very active ; ANPATH (smaller) focused on structured reporting; too detailed and difficult to implement; could put ANPATH in LAB profiles to create new versions; there are a number of ongoing ideas that overlap between the two domains
      • Discussed the merger at F2F meetings in Paris; chair from DICOM WG26 involved; discussed Supp 155 (reporting)
      • Why merge? Molecular pathology in clinical lab and ANPATH lab - need to be reported the same way - easier for vendors to choose profile
      • Co-chairs are writing doc/proposal - would like to submit to both domain committees for feedback, like to have vote to approve
      • Assuming it would take about one year to completely merge 2 domains
    • Considerations:
      • Need to consider administrative tasks to be done; develop worklist/checklist (wiki page, ihe.net, Connectathons, etc.)
      • Keep domain profiles historically separate instead of changing name if merger occurs
      • Expected to vote in July/August

3. RO domain - Requesting update regarding proposal to establish a chapter in the RO technical framework for DICOM Content items

  • Difficult to reuse profile transactions
  • Move to strict content profile - develop specific chapter in TF to define DICOM content modules
  • CP adds new chapter to allow module definition specifically to DICOM material
  • Comments welcome
