IHE - Document Sharing

As indicated XDS-I provides the link to the Imaging world from a Document Sharing exchange. The Document Sharing exchange is not sufficiently described in the section. I recommend that Document Sharing exchange be more comprehensively expressed thru use of the IHE Whitepaper on Health Information Exchange. Thus removing mentions of PIX and PDQ as these are just a fragment of needed infrastructure that also includes Security, Privacy, Discovery, Retrieve, and management.

There are IHE Connectathon testing results for Web-based Image Capture (which uses STOW-RS)

(See image in uploaded document)

and Web-based Image Access (which uses QIDO-RS and WADO-RS).

(See image in uploaded document)

So for DICOMweb, we suggest at least Medium if not High, definitely not Low.

Examples with DICOMweb™  support

Examples with DICOMweb™ support but not in Conformance statement

This list is based on initial research and not complete as there are likely many more.

Recommend XDS-I.b adoption be increased to 2?

Recommend listing IHE WIA which profiles the use of DICOMweb

Recommend DICOMweb adoption be increased to 3

To survey implementations of RESTful DICOMweb services to store, query, retrieve, an internet search for the relevant service (STOW-RS, QIDO-RS, WADO-RS) and the phrase “DICOM Conformance Statement” will typically return links to specific products.  

STOW-RS "dicom conformance statement"

QIDO-RS "dicom conformance statement"

WADO-RS "dicom conformance statement"

To survey implementations of IHE profiles, a search at the IHE Connectathon Results database (connectathon-results.ihe.net) will return lists of vendors that have successfully tested either a product or a prototype product. An internet search for the profile acronym (WIA, MHD-I) and the phrase “integration statement” will often return links to specific products
