2. The Problem

<Summarize the integration problem. What doesn’t work, or what needs to work.>

3. Key Use Case

<a)Screening mammography recall examination abnormality demarcated on the 5 MP monitor should be automaticality transfered back to the breast imaging reporting system; b) if not abnormality is identified at the conclusion of the hanging protocol review and final screening mammography iterpretation an automatic normal report is generated instead of requiring the manual development of a normal screening mammography report within the breast imaging reporting system; and c) upon completetion of the current normal screening mammography examination, the next screening mammography case within the screening mammography worklist is automatically loaded on the 5 MP monitors for interpretation>

<a)Once a screening mammography recall examination abnormatity is demarcated on the 5 MP monitor, the abnormality and its corresponding locations should be automatically transfered back via a bidirectional interface to the breast imaging reporting system either as a thumbnail print or information uploaed into a universal breast diagram; b) if not abnormality is identified at the conclusion of the hanging protocol review and final screening mammography iterpretation an automatic normal report is generated instead of requiring the manual development of a normal screening mammography report within the breast imaging reporting system by imploying a normal templated report, and c) upon completetion of the current normal screening mammography examination, the next screening mammography case within the screening mammography worklist now in CASHS is automatically loaded on the 5 MP monitors for interpretation, eliminating the need to manually select the next case for review from the worklist.>

4. Standards & Systems

<List existing systems that are/could be involved in the problem/solution.>

<If known, list standards which might be relevant to the solution>

5. Discussion

<Include additional discussion or consider a few details which might be useful for the detailed proposal>

<Why IHE would be a good venue to solve the problem and what you think IHE should do to solve it.>

<What might the IHE technical approach be? Existing Actors? New Transactions? Additional Profiles?>

<What are some of the risks or open issues to be addressed?>

<This is the brief proposal. Try to keep it to 1 or at most 2 pages>
