Roadmap
The Radiation Oncology Roadmap will outline goals and plans over the next 5-10 years.
Current Activity
The Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise - Radiation Oncology (IHE-RO) is soliciting use cases from the radiation oncology community. A use case is a description of how end users will accomplish a goal by performing a task or a series of tasks using systems (or software) and includes the responses of the systems (or software) to user actions. IHE-RO use cases should focus on interoperability issues. If you are aware of an interoperability issue in radiation oncology, please prepare a one-page summary of the use case one of the following ways:
1.Scroll to the bottom of “Use_Case_Wish_List”, click on one of the "add your own" templates and fill in the content.
2.For the more "wiki savvy", use the template at “Brief_Proposal_Template”, fill it out and insert it in the Use Case Wish List table.
These use cases need to be submitted by Friday, May 28, 2010 for consideration in the 2010-2011 development cycle.
Use Case Selection
For an overview of submitting a Use Case for Radiation Oncology, please refer to this page.
Please read the Profile_Proposal_Process to understand the process for specifying, prioritizing and selecting profiles. Edit the following table to include new pages (using the above format) and use the Brief_Proposal_Template to create new Use Cases. The Detailed_Proposal_Template can be used later to provide full details. A high level Radiotherapy Process map provides a context for developing Use cases.

Objective & scope
The aim is to extend the IHE initiative to wow gold anatomic pathology laboratories, their dcuo cash information, automation, imaging systems and equipments.
The scope of the rift plat anatomic pathology includes rift plat surgical pathology, rift plat biopsies pathology, rift plat cytopathology, rift plat autopsies, and other rift plat related techniques (immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, etc).
Information systems in anatomic rift plat pathology laboratories gather medical data (text, images, etc) throughout the rift plat specimen management from specimen reception to report editing.
The diagnostic process in dcuo cash anatomical pathology (figure 1) differs from that in the clinical laboratory since it relies on image interpretation and left 4 dead 2 cheats. It also differs from that in radiology since it is specimen-driven and when digital imaging is performed many types of imaging equipments (gross imaging, microscopic still imaging, whole slide imaging, multispectral imaging, etc) may be involved for a single examination. Moreover, with GoDaddy Promo Code you'll be advance in game and images of the same study may be related to different specimen (parts and/or slides) from one or even different patients (e.g Tissue Micro Array). Finally with SEO Elite Review, slides are always available to acquire more images, if needed. In radiology, the diagnostic process is patient-driven, an examination (study) usually involves a single image acquisition modality and all images of the study are related to one and only one patient.
