Imaging Study and Report

This page describes the business scenarios for the Medical Imaging studies and Reports Use Case.

Scenario

Medical Imaging studies and Reports sharing on a cross-border scale

  1. Check Patient ID
  2. Once the identity of the patient is validated, the Health Professional in Country B queries Country A for a list of imaging studies and imaging reports of that patient by providing additional query parameters.
  3. The HP interface requests the lists of imaging studies and imaging reports of country A to the NCP of country B.
  4. The NCP of country B requests the list of imaging studies and imaging reports to the NCP of country A
  5. The NCP of country A, after checking if patient consent has been provided (where applicable), gets and provides to the NCP of country B the list of imaging studies and imaging reports (metadata) of country A available for the patient matching query parameters.
  6. The NCP of country B conveys the list to HP interface.
Imaging Study Retrieval
  1. The HP-B selects the specific imaging study and requests the manifest to the NCP of country B.
  2. The NCP of country B request the selected manifest to the NCP of country A.
  3. The NCP of country A gets and provides to the NCP of country B the requested manifest content to gain further details of the imaging study content.
  4. The NCP of country B conveys the requested manifest of the imaging study of country A to HP interface.
Imaging Report Retrieval
Note: an imaging report can be search and retrieved without searching and retrieveing Imaging Studie.
  1. The HP-B requests the specific imaging report to the NCP of country B.
  2. The NCP of country B request the selected imaging report to the NCP of country A.
  3. The NCP of country A gets and provides to the NCP of country B the requested imaging report.
  4. The NCP of country B conveys the requested imaging report of country A to HP interface.
Images Retrieval
Note: Images can be retrieved also without searching and retrieveing Imaging Studies. For example getting the identifiers from An Imaging report, an HDR, a Patient Summary or other kinds of documents as the Imaging Selection documents.
  1. The HP-B selects the specific Series/Image and sends the request to the NCP of country B
  2. The NCP- B requests the selected Series/Image to the NCP-A
  3. The NCP of country A gets and provides the selected Series/Image to NCP of country B
  4. The NCP of country B conveys it to the HP interface
  5. The HP interface displays the selected image on an image viewer.
  6. The use case is terminated.
