Radiology Technical Committee

The Radiology Technical Committee performs the technical work of the IHE Radiology Domain.

Current Activities

Radiology Change Proposals

The TF Maintenance Folder holds:

• the Radiology CP Tracking spreadsheet which lists all CPs, their current status and assigned editors
• copies of all CPs grouped by current status

Important: CPs should only be edited and renamed by their assigned editor. CPs should only be moved between folders by the CP Coordinator.

The Change Proposal Process describes the steps for submitting and managing Change Proposals. In addition to the standard naming, IHE Radiology uses RJ when a CP has been rejected (e.g. CP-RAD-098-RJ.doc), CA when a CP has been cancelled, and CM when a CP is completed and ready for ballot.

CP Ballots and Comments may be submitted to ihe-rad-tech. Please note that only ballots from Member Organizations with active voting privileges will be counted.

Radiology Technical Framework Editorial Maintenance

The TF Section Number Assignments spreadsheet tracks the main profile chapter numbers (in Volume 1) and the transaction numbering (including Volume 2 and 3 section numbering).

This spreadsheet should be updated just prior to new profile supplements being published for Trial Implementation.
