Mission
Imaging Integration collects, reviews, develops and documents use cases, information structures, message and document content related to ordering and reporting of non-textual data and associated information, including images themselves. Imaging Integration promotes the interoperation of imaging systems, PACS and associated radiological oriented systems with information systems that use HL7.
Charter

- Ensure that changes required for image integration support in the HL7 product famililes are enacted.
- Facilitate the publication of HL7/DICOM Implementation Guides.
- Coordinate harmonization of new and emerging HL7 and DICOM Standards.
