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
Check Patient ID
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.
The HP interface requests the lists of imaging studies and imaging reports of country A to the NCP of country B.
The NCP of country B requests the list of imaging studies and imaging reports to the NCP of country A
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.
The NCP of country B conveys the list to HP interface.
Imaging Study Retrieval
The HP-B selects the specific imaging study and requests the manifest to the NCP of country B.
The NCP of country B request the selected manifest to the NCP of country A.
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.
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.
The HP-B requests the specific imaging report to the NCP of country B.
The NCP of country B request the selected imaging report to the NCP of country A.
The NCP of country A gets and provides to the NCP of country B the requested imaging report.
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.
The HP-B selects the specific Series/Image and sends the request to the NCP of country B
The NCP- B requests the selected Series/Image to the NCP-A
The NCP of country A gets and provides the selected Series/Image to NCP of country B
The NCP of country B conveys it to the HP interface
The HP interface displays the selected image on an image viewer.
The use case is terminated.
