==Topics==

'''1) First Review of [[Radiology_Proposals_2009-2010#Brief_Proposals|Brief Profile Proposals]] with Authors''' 
*''' Cardiac Imaging and Multi-Stack Spine Imaging'''
** Implementations of Enhanced DICOM Objects (like last year's Perfusion and Diffusion profiles)
** Cardiology domain needs to be consulted on Cardiac Imaging proposal
** Adoption of previous enhanced objects profiles has not been widespread so far
** Need to identify 

*''' Imaging Object Change Management'''
** Changes made to image studies across and within enterprises create multiple copies that may change and diverge
** Many additional questions are raised by cross-enterprise information exchange
** In coordination with DICOM work, provide use cases for DICOM to address
** Goal is to develop white paper this year for profile development in current year, 
** Kinson Ho and Genady Knizhik volunteer to be editors of white paper

*''' Scheduled Workflow 2.0'''
** Proposes many updates to SWF based on changes in HL7 transactions
** Opportunity to clarify and extend SWF transactions, including use of MPPS
** Physician Order Entry is related to SWF, but should be addressed as a separate profile in coordination with ITI (Kevin O'Donnell will post a separate proposal for this topic)
** Includes ordering codes such as RadLex Chargemaster and JJ1017
** Chris Lindop willing to act as profile editor

*''' Presentation of Processed Images'''
** Currently there is no consistent way for modalities (that create overlays) and post-processing systems to make their compound image objects available for display and storage
** Example of Mammo CAD SR shows the downside of profiling "one true way" for post-processing of a given image type: existing solutions taking different approaches will merely ignore the profile
** Burden on receiving systems (PACS, displays) to handle multiple post-processing types: one approach would be to create table of allowed approaches that receiving systems would be required to support
** Another approach might create a display profile that sets baseline for the different approaches an image display needs to support
** Proposal includes three separate approaches: 1) simple overlay images, 2) compound objects such as annotations, 3) on-demand processing of pre-processed images where post-processing does not get stored in PACS
** Michael Planchart willing to act as proposal editor

*''' DICOM Encoded Image Profile'''
** Might be subsumed into Presentation of Processed Images profile
** Don Mimlitch will be asked to work with Michael Planchart

*''' Diagnostic Imaging Repository Actor'''
** Consensus is that some parts of this proposal could be folded into Change Management white paper
** Ask author, David Heaney to clarify proposal to indicate what parts might be distinct proposal and what parts are covered by Change Management

*''' Data Retention'''
** How policies about retaining and deleting images are implemented in a distributed environment
** Might also be made part of the Change Management white paper; identify deficiencies in XDS-I model
** May involve coordination with ITI to address synchronization, change management issues

* '''Action Item:''' Profile authors to submit any revisions prior to 2009-09-16 teleconference to make short list of proposals to be developed into detailed proposals


'''2) IHE Radiology Communications Strategy 2010'''
* Presentations at RSNA, HIMSS, SIIM, AHRA, AMA/AANS and other annual meetings
** Committee members should participate in developing imaging scenario for HIMSS Showcase
** SIIM Call for Abstracts closes Sept. 11
*** Meeting takes place June 3-6 in Minneapolis
*** General topics around IHE may be covered by Dr. Channin's SIIM U course
*** '''Action Item:''' Chris Carr to contact David Channin about his presentation plans for SIIM
*** Kevin O'Donnell, Chris Carr and Chris Lindop will draft abstract if it appears there is a gap in IHE materials in SIIM program
* '''Action Item:''' David and Kevin contact AANS about BIR demonstration interest
** NA Connectathon Trial Implementation Profile Promotion
*** Applications due Sept. 30; if communication to industry is to be effective, it has to go out soon
* '''Action Item:''' Chris Carr will schedule teleconference for Sept. 9 to continue discussion of communication issues


'''3) 2010 Calendar Review'''
* See [[Radiology]] Domain Page for timeline dates


'''4) Topics deferred for future discussion'''
* Cross-domain report, impacts to Radiology
* Board report, impacts to Radiology
* Technical Committee report, 2009 Trial Implrmentation Profile readiness for Final text:  [[Rad Tech Minutes 2009.09.02|Technical Committee Minutes 2009.09.02]]
* www.ihe.net radiology content review


'''5) Upcoming Meetings'''
* 2009-09-09, 10-11am CT: Teleconference to plan communications activities
* 2009-09-16, 10am-12pm CT: Teleconference to develop short list of profile proposals
