Key Elements of
Radiology Reporting
5
Paper or Electronic Reports
• Accurately convey the findings to the referring physician
– Reflect the competence of the radiologist
• Timely communication for patient care
• Archived in the patient medical record
• Legal record of imaging exam
– Radiologist signature
• Support secondary uses
–
–
–
–
Charge capture and billing
Teaching and research
Clinical data registries, clinical trials
Process improvement
• Produced making best use of radiologist’s time
6
Typical busy radiologist at
Northwestern Memorial Hospital
Benefits and challenges
of Electronic Reports (1)
• Accuracy
+ Drive for quality improvement with quantitative data,
CAD and other measurements
+ Possible major benefit with attached key images
and graphical analysis (picture = 1000 words)
– Will systems support graphical reports?
• Timely communication
+ Probable improvement
• Archived in the patient medical record
– Where is the electronic medical record? (distributed,
multiple copies)
7
Benefits and challenges
of Electronic Reports (2)
• Legal record
– What is a valid electronic signature?
– Is an exact visual reproduction required, or only exact
semantic content?
• Secondary uses
+ Huge potential improvement, especially with structured
and coded data
• Use of radiologist’s time
– Potential negative impact with transition from traditional
dictation workflow
– Radiologist pays the cost for improvements downstream
8
This is Process Re-engineering!
• Transition to electronic reports is hard
–
–
–
–
New systems
New architectures
New policies and procedures
Organizationally disjunct costs/benefits
• Minimize the risk and the effort
– A standards-based approach
– Incremental evolution from current workflow
– Leverage the work of IHE (Integrating the
Healthcare Enterprise)
9
HL7
Clinical Document Architecture
Overview
HL7 is a Standards Development Organization
whose domain is clinical and administrative data
10
HL7 Clinical Document
Architecture
• The scope of the CDA is the standardization of clinical
documents for exchange.
• A clinical document is a record of observations and other
services with the following characteristics:
–
–
–
–
–
Persistence
Stewardship
Potential for authentication
Wholeness
Human readability
• A CDA document is a defined and complete information
object that can exist outside of a message, and can include
text, images, sounds, and other multimedia content.
11
Clinical Document
Characteristics
• Persistence
– Documents exist over time and can be used in many contexts
• Stewardship
– Documents must be managed, shared by the steward
• Potential for authentication
– Intended use as medico-legal documentation
• Wholeness
– Document includes its relevant context
• Human readability
– Essential for human authentication
12
CDA Use Cases
•
•
•
•
•
Diagnostic and therapeutic procedure reports
Encounter / discharge summaries
Patient history & physical
Referrals
Claims attachments
• Consistent format for all clinical documents
14
Key Aspects of the CDA
• CDA documents are encoded in Extensible Markup
Language (XML)
• CDA documents derive their meaning from the
HL7 v3 Reference Information Model (RIM ) and use
HL7 v3 Data Types
• A CDA document consists of a header and a body
– Header is consistent across all clinical documents identifies and classifies the document, provides information
on patient, provider, encounter, and authentication
– Body contains narrative text / multimedia content (level 1),
optionally augmented by coded equivalents (levels 2 & 3)
15
CDA Standard
• Release 1 (2000)
– Standalone standard
– Based on early draft v3 RIM
– Level 1 narrative and multimedia
• Release 2 (2005)
– Incorporated into HL7 v3 Standard (Normative Edition)
– Level 2 structured narrative and multimedia, plus Level 3
coded statements
• Implementation Guide for Care Record Summaries,
US Realm (2006)

Narrative and Coded Info
• CDA structured body requires human-readable
“Narrative Block”, all that is needed to reproduce the
legally attested clinical content
• CDA allows optional machine-readable coded “Entries”,
which drive automated processes
• Narrative may be flagged as derived from Entries
– Textual rendering of coded entries’ content, and contains
no clinical content not derived from the entries
• General method for coding clinical statements is a hard,
unsolved problem
– CDA allows incremental improvement to amount of coded
data without breaking the model
20
Narrative and Coded Entry
Example
21
CDA Non-XML Body
• Alternative to XML Structured Body
• Standard CDA header “wraps” existing document
• Any MIME type
– Especially PDF (IHE Scanned Document Profile)
22
CDA Implementation Guides
• Published by HL7
– Care Record Summary – encounter notes,
discharge summary
• Published by IHE Patient Care Coordination

DICOM
Structured Reporting
Overview
DICOM is a Standards Development Organization
whose domain is biomedical imaging
24
DICOM Structured Reporting
• The scope of DICOM SR is the standardization of
documents in the imaging environment.
• SR documents record observations made for an
imaging-based diagnostic or interventional
procedure, particularly those that describe or
reference images, waveforms, or specific regions of
interest.
25
SR Use Cases
•
•
•
•
Radiology reports with robust image / ROI references
Measurements/analyses made on images
Computer-aided detection results
Notes about images (QC, flag for specific use, quick
reads)
• Procedure logs for imaging-based therapeutic
procedures
• Image exchange manifests
27
Use Case Common Features
• Structured
– Lists and hierarchies
• Numeric measurements, coded values
– Automatically extractable for database, data mining
• Relationships between items
– Hierarchical, or arbitrary reference
– Power of rich semantic expression
• References to images, waveforms, other objects
– Collected in DICOM environment
• Explicit contextual information
– Unambiguous documentation of meaning
28
DICOM SR and the Five
Clinical Document Characteristics
• The five characteristics:
– Persistence: SR objects are persistent
– Stewardship: SR objects are managed and can identify their
steward
– Potential for authentication: SR has digital signature capability
– Wholeness: SR objects include their relevant context
– Human readability: DICOM requires SR objects to be rendered
“completely and unambiguously”, but this needs a conformant
application
• SR emphasizes coded semantic content (especially in
relation to images), while CDA emphasizes human
readable text through simple XML style sheets
29
Key Aspects of DICOM SR
• SR documents are encoded using DICOM standard
data elements and leverage DICOM network services
(storage, query/retrieve)
• SR uses DICOM Patient/Study/Series information
model (header), plus hierarchical tree of “Content
Items”
• Extensive mandatory use of coded content
– Allows use of vocabulary/codes from non-DICOM sources
• Templates define content constraints for specific
types of documents / reports
30
SR Content Item Tree
Arrows are parent-child relationships
• Contains, Has properties, Inferred from, etc.
Content Items are units of meaning
• Text, Numeric, Code, Image, Spatial coordinates, etc.

DICOM SR Example
32
DICOM SR Object Classes
• Basic Text - Narrative text with image references
• Enhanced and Comprehensive - Text, coded content, numeric
measurements, spatial and temporal ROI references
• CAD - Automated analysis results (mammo, chest, colon)
• Key Object Selection (KO) - Flags one or more images
– Purpose (for referring physician, for surgery …) and textual note
– Used for key image notes and image manifests (in IHE profiles)
• Procedure Log - For extended duration procedures (e.g., cath)
• Radiation Dose Report - Projection X-ray; CT (in development)
33
DICOM Encapsulated Document
• Complementary to DICOM Structured Reporting
• Standard DICOM header “wraps” existing
document
– Allows use of DICOM infrastructure – object exchange,
archive (PACS), query/retrieve
• Only specific document types allowed
– PDF (2006)
– CDA (in ballot – completion January 2007)
34
®
PDF (Adobe
Portable Document Format)
• Neither CDA nor SR guarantee exact visual reproduction
of a displayed document, which may be a legal
requirement in some locales
• PDF allows exact visual reproduction, and display
software is readily available
• Role for PDF as a presentation-ready equivalent
rendering of a coded document
• Both CDA and DICOM support wrapping PDF with their
standard header, so a presentation-ready PDF can be
managed in the same environment with cross-links to the
original coded document
35
Radiology Reporting
Workflows
36
Reporting Starts Before
the Radiologist Sees the Study
• Reason for exam (from order)
• Technical aspects of procedure
– Protocol
– Exam notes from tech
• Post-processing results
– Measurement and analysis applications (e.g., vascular,
obstetric, cardiac) by tech
– Computer Aided Detection results
• These need to get to the radiologist and integrated
into the report
– Produced on modality or imaging workstation
37
Reporting Integration (1)
• Review study evidence
– Order and relevant clinical information
– Images and relevant priors
– Tech notes and post-processing results
• Radiologist interpretation – on imaging workstation
– Annotation (virtual grease pencil)
– Key image selection
– Measurement and analysis applications by radiologist
• Radiologist findings reporting – on a different
system?
– Structured data entry (forms-based)
– Dictation + transcription
38
Where’s Waldo going to prepare his report?
Reporting Integration (2)
• Report assembly
– Findings and selected interpretation results
• Radiologist signature
• Report communication
– To referring physician
– To “secondary” users (billing!)
• Report archive
– And subsequent access
39
The DICOM Solution?
• DICOM was supposed to take care of all this, and has
(almost) all the requisite features and network services
• DICOM SR has found vital uses in key subspecialty
areas that produce structured data in the examination or
post-processing
– Leveraging the DICOM infrastructure is easy and desirable
– Results managed with other study evidence
• But the end recipients of radiology reports, referring
physicians, commonly use systems without DICOM
capabilities (imaging or SR)
40
“Evidence” and “Reports”
• Evidence Documents
– Includes measurements, procedure logs, CAD results, etc.,
created in the imaging context, and together with images
are interpreted by a radiologist to produce a report
– The radiologist may quote or copy parts of Evidence
Documents into the report, but doing so is part of the
interpretation process at his discretion
– Appropriate to be stored in PACS as DICOM SR objects,
with same (legal/distribution) status as images
• Reports
– Become part of the patient’s medical record, with
potentially wide distribution
– Ideal match to HL7 CDA, but sometimes SR is appropriate
41
DICOM-HL7 Synergy (1)
• SR and CDA developed simultaneously
• DICOM and HL7 working groups recognized the need to
work together
• DICOM SR and HL7 CDA are congruent in key areas
– Document persistence
– Document identification, versioning and type code
– Document’s relation to the patient and to the authoring physicians
• SR strength in robust image-related semantic content;
CDA strength in human readable narrative report
• DICOM WG10 (Strategic Advisory) suggested composing
radiology reports directly in CDA format when appropriate
42
DICOM-HL7 Synergy (2)
• References to CDA documents from within DICOM
objects, and vice versa
• Include CDA documents on DICOM removable disks
– As native CDA files, or encapsulated in a DICOM file
– Indexed in DICOMDIR for integration with DICOM applications
• PDF rendering of SR can be wrapped in a CDA
document
• Transcoding between SR and CDA feasible for limited
subset of reports
• CDA Implementation Guide for Diagnostic Reporting in
development
43
The Role of IHE
• Industry-wide effort to “make it work”
• Real world use cases drive standards-based
approach to integration
– Practical evolution from current architectures
• Venue for testing implementations and
interoperability
• Reporting is highest priority task for Radiology
Domain in 2007
• Your participation is welcome!
44
Reporting Profiles
• Documented workflow profiles
– IHE Evidence Documents Profile
– IHE Key Image Notes Profile
– DICOM Part 17 Dictation-Based Reporting with Image
References [Supplement 101]
• Ongoing work in IHE Reporting Task Force and
Radiology Technical Committee
– Revise IHE Simple Image and Numeric Report Profile,
consolidate with Post-processing and Reporting Workflow
Profiles
– Align with Retrieve Information for Display and CrossEnterprise Document Sharing Profiles

Other Use Cases to be Profiled
• All the basic elements are standardized and ready to be
fit into integrated reporting workflows
– Need consensus approaches to specific use cases (IHE)
• Quantitative measurement intensive reporting with
DICOM SR inputs
– Mammo with CAD input, Obstetric with sonographer
measurements, Cardiac with functional assessments
– DICOM SR as primary report with PDF wrapped in CDA as
distributed version?
• Selected key measurements imported into report (loosely
coupled architecture)
– Similar to Key Image / Annotation workflow
– Possible push model of key measurements to RIS?

Conclusions
• CDA now viewed as a primary format for diagnostic
imaging reports
– Definition of CDA DI report to be done in 2007 by a
balloted HL7 Implementation Guide
– Method is extensible to reports with more structure
• DICOM SR will see continued and expanding use for
Evidence Documents created in the imaging setting
– IHE Evidence Documents Integration Profile
• Evolutionary workflows utilizing both standards in
coordination are being profiled by IHE
– Does not require tight integration of imaging and reporting
workstations
