10.6 Resource ImagingSelection - Content

Imaging Integration icon Work GroupMaturity Level: 1 Trial UseSecurity Category: Patient Compartments: Patient

A selection of DICOM SOP instances and/or frames within a single Study and Series. This might include additional specifics such as an image region, an Observation UID or a Segmentation Number, allowing linkage to an Observation Resource or transferring this information along with the ImagingStudy Resource.

10.6.1 Scope and Usage

This resource is an event resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow.

A selection of data from an ImagingStudy. The selection may be:

  • All DICOM SOP Instances in a single DICOM Series
  • A set of DICOM SOP Instances within a single DICOM Series
  • A set of frames within one or more DICOM multiframe image SOP Instances
  • A set of segments within one or more DICOM segmentation SOP Instances
  • A set of content items within one or more DICOM Structured Report SOP Instances
  • ...

May also represent regions within the ImagingStudy frame of reference, including:

  • A 2D region within one or more DICOM image SOP Instances
  • A 3D region within a DICOM Frame of Reference

Uses for ImagingSelection resources include:

  • Identifying a specific set of images or frames as the focus of an Observation
  • Identifying a spatial region or volume as the focus of an Observation
  • Identifying the set of image coordinates as the focus of a measurement represented by an Observation
  • Identifying a node in a DICOM Structured Report SOP Instance from which an Observation is derived
  • Identifying images, frames or presentation states selected as part of shared application context in a context-sharing environment
  • Identifying a specific set of images, frames or presentation states to be presented

All DICOM SOP Instances referenced in a single ImagingSelection resource shall be part of the same DICOM Series (and therefore also the same DICOM Study). In order to reference SOP Instances in multiple Studies or Series it is necessary to create multiple ImagingSelection resources.

10.6.2 Boundaries and Relationships

The ImagingStudy resource is used to store details of an entire DICOM Study and associated information.

The ImagingSelection resource is used to reference to a specific set of specific set of images, frames, waveforms or image regions.

An Observation may be related to a set of images in several ways.

While an ImagingSelection is restricted to a single DICOM Series, a single Observation references multiple ImagingSelection resources if it relates to multiple Studies and / or Series – for example, to reference multiple images over different cardiac phases or a PET and a CT image.

A DiagnosticReport might directly reference an ImagingSelection that includes one or more Observations derived from ImagingSelection resources.

In contrast with a DocumentReference, an ImagingSelection includes the ability to specify a region within an image, an observation node within a DICOM Structured Reporting (SR) and the ability to specify one or more Endpoint resources for retrieval of the referenced images, frames, waveforms or documents. Additionally, DocumentReference has limited ability to reference multiple images or frames and can only specify the Study, Series and SOP Instance UIDs implicitly via the URL.

DocumentReference might be appropriate for including a rendered DICOM image in cases where the full image context is not important.

10.6.5 Notes

10.6.5.1 Imaging Selection Subsets

Some DICOM SOP Instances contain multiple sub-resources, such as frames, segments, etc.

An Imaging Selection resource may specify the subset of these that are included in the selection using the instance.subset element.

The defined types of subsets are:

  • Frames selected from a multiframe SOP Instance
  • Referenced Content Item Identifiers selected from a DICOM SR or other structured document SOP Instance
  • Segments selected from a segmentation SOP Instance
  • Regions of interest selected from a radiotherapy structure set SOP Instance

The type of subset is determined by the SOP Class of the parent instance.

Subsets can only reference sub-resources that are already defined within the selected DICOM SOP Instance.

10.6.5.2 Use of ImagingSelection.code and ImagingSelection.category

The code and category element can be used to information relevant for applications that want to identify specific types of ImagingSelection resources.

As code is required and limited to a single value, it holds the primary purpose of the ImagingSelection. Additional applicable values populate the category element.

For example, if an ImagingSelection is used to identify a set of images that make up a volume rendered view, the code could contain a code indicating Volume Rendering - such as RadLex RID35862 - and the category could contain values of the DICOM Image Type (0008,0008) attribute - such as DERVIED and SECONDARY.
