System Roles

System roles

Role 1 Name: Imaging Result Creator

  • Create and store imaging Observation resources
    • Extracted from a DICOM measurement report
  • (Optional) Create and store DICOM images and / or structured reports

Role 2 Name: PACS / VNA / Enterprise Imaging Repository (Archive)

  • Host a DICOMweb endpoint to find and retrieve images
  • (Optional) Host ImagingSelection resources

Role 3 Name: EMR

  • Host Observation resources
  • (Optional) Host ImagingSelection resources
  • Host FHIR endpoint for image-related resources

Role 4 Name: Enterprise Image Viewer (Viewer)

  • Can search FHIR / DICOMweb endpoints for ImagingSelection and related resources
  • Can retrieve and display image instances and related resources

Testing Scenario:

Scenario: DICOM SR to FHIR Resource Mapping IG

  1. Action: Imaging Result Creator stores imaging observations in EMR / Archive
    • Precondition: Imaging observations created according to IG
    • Success Criteria: DICOM SR content stored as FHIR observations
    • Bonus Point: Associated ImagingSelection resources are created
    • Test Scripts: To be created
  2. Action: EMR / Viewer displays imaging observations 
    • Success Criteria: EMR / Viewer displays imaging observations
    • Bonus point: imaging observations displayed alongside associated ImagingStudy
    • Test Script: DicomSrMappingCollection.xml (test diagram here)
  3. Action: Imaging Result Creator stores a DICOM TID1500 Measurement Report using DICOMweb
    • Success Criteria: Observations are created and stored in accordance with DICOM SR to FHIR Resource Mapping IG
    • Test Scripts: To be created

Scenario: ImagingSelection Resource Usage

  1. Action: Enterprise Image Viewer finds and retrieves ImagingSelection resource instances
    • Precondition: ImagingSelection resources created and stored in Archive
    • Success Criteria: ImagingSelection resources queried
    • Success Criteria: ImagingSelection resources found
    • Test Scripts: To be created
  2. Action: Enterprise Image Viewer loads selected instances
    • Precondition: ImagingSelection contains a valid DICOMweb endpoint that corresponds to a participating Archive
    • Success Criteria: The Viewer requests the images from a DICOMweb Endpoint in the ImagingSelection and then displays them
    • Test Scripts: To be created

Security and Privacy Considerations:

  • Mutual TLS is recommended but not required
