Mammography Image

The Mammography Image (MAMMO) Profile specifies how Mammography images and evidence objects are created, exchanged, used and displayed.

Summary

The IHE Mammography Image Profile ensures that the acquired digital mammography images contain all relevant information that is necessary for further image processing, application of CAD, storage, display, review and printing. This profile is absolutely necessary for generating correct digital mammography image content to ensure optimal presentation of images at a mammography review workstation.

Systems Affected

• Modalities may create, store, and transmit Mammography images.
• PACS systems may store, manage, and/or display Mammography images.
• Display systems may query, retrieve and display Mammography images.
• Workstations may retrieve, process and display Mammography images, and may create evidence documents.
