- See full list of Maintenance topics
- From Top Ten list:
- CP-RAD-475 Extensions to RAD-107 for IMR (Kinson) - we reviewed and updated the content. This CP is approved as Completed and ready for ballot, pending updates agreed to during discussion
- CP-RAD-523-03 Clarify display of DBT images (Steve) - we updated the text to clarify the requirements in a different section. This CP is approved as Completed and ready for ballot,
- CP-RAD-501 WIA – RAD-129 fix in Expected Actions (Steve) - we reviewed and updated the content. Steve will make the recommended edit to the Enterprise Identity Table in RAD-14; we will review those updates this week to prepare this for ballot.

- Other CPs ready for committee review:
- CP-RAD-463 - Add RDSR Display option in REM (Kevin) - status update: This is now separated into 2 CPs, including CP-RAD-525 Add EMR Extract option in REM. These 2 CPs remain Assigned & Kevin will bring back to RAD Tech for review in the future.
- CP-RAD-496-01 - Missing arrow in SWF.b actor/transaction diagram (Lynn) - reviewed, updated, and approved as Completed.
- Other CPs ready for committee review:
- S3: 1:30pm-3:00pm: Imaging Diagnostic Report (IDR)
- Discussion of IDR use cases
- During initial profile development, the most recent version of IDR will be kept in this folder in google drive. (Note: google drive is used for doc storage, NOT for editing)
- Later, it is anticipated that this content will become a FHIR IG developed in this Github repository at https://github.com/IHE/RAD.IDR
- S4: 3:15pm-4:45pm: Reject Analysis (RAM)
- During profile development, the most recent version of RAM will be kept in this folder in google drive[

- A1: 8:45am-9:00am Administrative Time
- S1: 9:00am-10:30am: Appropriateness of TID 1500 for AI Results (Antje, Sean)
- Refer to this presentation with notes from Antje
- Sean pointed out the issue encoding with being unable to encode classification (i.e. confidence, certainty...) of findings within TID 1500. Oncology has use cases that can inform this work for us. Kevin noted that AI cannot necessarily apply a certainty value to a finding, but AI can report how close the current result is to its training set. The AIR profile has open issue #34 with an initial write-up on this topic. We will likely need to convene a working group to address this.
- Brian questioned whether using TID 1500 is the right solution; perhaps consider using FHIR R5 Observation / ImagingSelection, instead. There was some discussion of this future direction, but Andrei asked that that discussion of this future consideration be deferred and that we spend the time i this session specifically on how to get guidance for current challenges on encoding AI results in TID 1500.
- David G. reported that they have chosen DICOM SR for encoding AI Results because a goal is to have the AI output in the PACS. The problem they have encountered that the PACS will not accept and enable viewing and editing of the SR content. Brian noted that an additional challenge is when there are many AI-related SRs in the PACS, which are relevant for the radiologist.
- Sean reported that the main challenge workflow issue
- Antje recommended perhaps making the TID 4xxx (Mammo CAD SR) templates more general.
- Kevin pointed to the AI Result Tree encoding specification and examples in the AIR Profile
- Encoding of results status -- Kevin pointed to Open Issue #32 in AIR.
- Examples:
- Sean pointed out that good examples are really valuable. He suggested a Github repository of examples.
- Antje said targeted examples that demonstrate key features (AI outputs / primitives) would be good to produce.
- Post discussion actions to address. Create ad-hoc working groups to address these topics.:
- Looking into alternatives for derived measurements (temporal, spacial)
- Flavors of certainty
- Workflow (accept...reject...). Perhaps keep a library of patterns of usage of AI algorithms.
- Be sure to engage with the AIGI task force in Europe (Marc Kammerer and others)
- Bring this topic up at the RAD meeting at RSNA. For future RAD Tech meetings, include an update from these working groups as a sub-topic for maintenance.
- S2: 10:45am-12:15pm: Imaging Diagnostic Report (IDR)
- Discuss and add details to the Concepts section in Vol e
- Discussion of HL7 V2 export option (see notes in IDR open issue #2). We will provide guidance in the profile in a hybrid environment section in Vol 1 concepts, but not a named option.
