Evidence Documents
The Evidence Documents (ED) Profile specifies how data objects such as digital measurements are created, exchanged, and used.
Summary
<Describe the profile in about a paragraph using user-oriented language.>
The Evidence Documents Profile allows detailed non-image information, such as measurements, CAD results, procedure logs, etc. to be made available as input to the process of generating a diagnostic report either as additional evidence for the reporting physician or in some cases for selected items in the Evidence Document to be included in the diagnostic report. The production of Evidence Documents, is managed by the Scheduled Workflow Profile and/or the Post Processing Workflow Profile. As such, the Evidence Document Profile is required to be supported together with one or the other of those two profiles. Evidence Documents represent one of the inputs to the reporting process described in the Reporting Workflow Profile and may provide details which get included in diagnostic reports described in the Simple Image & Numeric Reports Profile. It should be noted that while Key Image Notes meet the definition of Evidence Documents, they are a special case which is dealt with separately in the Key Image Notes Profile for historical reasons.
<Insert a simple graphic that, at a glance, gives an impression of what the profile is about. E.g. a graphic of a hospital, a clinic, and a lab with patient records moving between them. Do not use an actor/transaction diagram here.>
<See Help - Tips and Tricks for details on inserting an image/graphic.>
Benefits

Details
