Evaluated Brief Profile Proposals. Detailed questions from discussion have been added to the page linked here

Dr. Kahn presented summary of proposal
RSNA Reporting Committee has begun developing structured reports in xml language called relax ng
Goal of profile proposal is to standardize methods of accessing and using templates (rather than defining the content/structure of templates)
Development would need to be coordinated with other domains: IT Infrastructure and Patient Care Coordination, also Cardiology, Pathology, Cardiology
Relationship of xml reports to DICOM SR templates needs to be evaluated by Tech Cmte

David Clunie presented summary of proposal
Based on Dr. Rubin's suggestion will explore whether it is possible to expand to address clinical use cases
Currently the clinical trials use case has the greatest demand for structured data with quantitation
Goal is to gather the data in the course of clinical care
Currently most clinical trials are done on specialty workstations rather than PACS workstations

Kinson Ho presented summary of proposal
Based on published white paper; Kinson estimates that 70% of the work on the profile is completed
Goal is to specify methods of managing changes to image objects in distributed environment
White paper contains range of use cases; some might be excluded if they are not likely to be addressed successfully
Gap in DICOM needs to be addressed in order to complete proposal; DICOM is awaiting input from white paper to conclude this work item
ebXML and HL7 MDM are other potential standards mechanisms that could be used to address the use cases

Proposal to refresh and possibly merge existing Post-processing and Reporting workflow profiles
Current profile specifies SINR; update would likely loosen this linkage
Consider changing from DICOM Modality Work List to UPS

It is a new profile in ITI. There is global interest in leveraging XCA for linking communities. There is no competitor technology. Already we see some uptake in Europe. Canada is using this profile to link the regions. There may be some hold back in the USA due to a lack of National strategy.

Yes. It is the standard for imaging exchange throughout the world. It is being deployed Nationally in Canada, regionally in various location throughout Europe and USA.

Proposal to define standard way to extend the functionality of an imaging platform with capabilities provided by a separate application
Key to making this profile effective is to define a minimum API set that would make a hosted application interoperable in any clinical environment

Main use case is communication (eg, referrals) with care providers outside of radiology
Communication of results, procedure plans, etc. should be called out as separate use cases

Planning Committee to hold additional teleconference this Thursday, Sept. 23, 10:30-11:00 am CT to make selection of Brief Proposals for evaluation by Technical Committee
