A logical id of the resource SHALL be provided. The provided id SHALL be the same ImagingStudy resource id which was provided in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event (see also FHIRcast ImagingStudy for Open Events).

The Study Instance UID SHOULD be included as a business identifier if it is known. If a Study Instance UID was provided in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event, then the same Study Instance UID SHOULD be provided in the [FHIR resource]-close event.

The accession number of the order which triggered the image procedure to be performed SHOULD be included as a business identifier if it is known. If an accession number was provided in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event, then the same accession number SHOULD be provided in the [FHIR resource]-close event.

A reference to the FHIR Patient resource describing the patient associated with the imaging study being closed. Note there are rare cases in which the ImagingStudy subject references a resource which is not a patient. Regardless, the subject reference present in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event SHALL be provided in the [FHIR resource]-close event.

Representation of the content produced in a DICOM imaging study. A study comprises a set of series, each of which includes a set of Service-Object Pair Instances (SOP Instances - images or other data) acquired or produced in a common context. A series is of only one modality (e.g. X-ray, CT, MR, ultrasound), but a study may have multiple series of different modalities.

A logical id of the resource SHALL be provided. The provided id SHALL be the same ImagingStudy resource id which was provided in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event (see also FHIRcast ImagingStudy for Open Events).

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

The Study Instance UID SHOULD be included as a business identifier if it is known. If a Study Instance UID was provided in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event, then the same Study Instance UID SHOULD be provided in the [FHIR resource]-close event.

If an accession number was provided in the corresponding [FHIR resource]-open event, then the same accession number SHOULD be provided in the [FHIR resource]-close event.

See discussion under Imaging Study Implementation Notes for encoding of DICOM Study Instance UID. Accession Number should use ACSN Identifier type.

If one or more series elements are present in the ImagingStudy, then there shall be one DICOM Study UID identifier (see DICOM PS 3.3 C.7.2.

The current state of the ImagingStudy.

Unknown does not represent "other" - one of the defined statuses must apply. Unknown is used when the authoring system is not sure what the current status is.

The status of the ImagingStudy.

A reference to the FHIR Patient resource describing the patient associated with the imaging study being closed. Note there are rare cases in which the ImagingStudy subject references a resource which is not a patient.

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term.

Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

The base language in which the resource is written.

Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute).

A human language.

A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety.

Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later.

These resources do not have an independent existence apart from the resource that contains them - they cannot be identified independently, and nor can they have their own independent transaction scope.

This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels.

The network service providing access (e.g., query, view, or retrieval) for the study. See implementation notes for information about using DICOM endpoints. A study-level endpoint applies to each series in the study, unless overridden by a series-level endpoint with the same Endpoint.connectionType.

Typical endpoint types include DICOM WADO-RS, which is used to retrieve DICOM instances in native or rendered (e.g., JPG, PNG), formats using a RESTful API; DICOM WADO-URI, which can similarly retrieve native or rendered instances, except using an HTTP query-based approach; DICOM QIDO-RS, which allows RESTful query for DICOM information without retrieving the actual instances; or IHE Invoke Image Display (IID), which provides standard invocation of an imaging web viewer.

Access methods for viewing (e.g., IHE’s IID profile) or retrieving (e.g., DICOM’s WADO-URI and WADO-RS) the study or the study’s series or instances. The study-level baseLocation applies to each series in the study, unless overridden in series by a series-level baseLocation of the same type.
