Abstract

The DICOM services for patient, study and results management are recent additions to the ACR-NEMA standard. Commercially available RIS systems and the HL7 standard do not match the DICOM state transition models for these management tasks well. The purpose of this effect is to model the interaction between a DICOM-compliant PACS and an RIS, based on the DICOM management models, to provide a basis for standards-based PACS-RIS integration. We report on a state transition model for a RIS that correlates both to the HL7 trigger events usually supported and to the major features of the various state transition models incorporated in DICOM.
