先讨论下DICOM和IHE 中的一些基础概念,
Accession Number 也叫流水号,在General Study Module中,是如下描述的Accession Number A RIS generated number that identifies the order for the Study.用来标示一个检查的送检单,这个号是由RIS生成。一定是标示送检单的。
我们再从IHE RAD中找到
Order: A request for an Imaging Service
Requested Procedure: Unit of work resulting in one report with associated codified, billable acts.
Scheduled and Performed Procedure Step: the smallest unit of work in the workflow that is scheduled (work to do) and/or performed (work done).
In the IHE Scheduled Workflow, the Accession Number identifies the Order. The requested Procedure ID distinguishes among Requested Procedures when an Order requires multiple Procedures. IHE sets a common meaning for these two terms to provide clinicians with a consistent and non-ambiguous access across different vendor products (RIS, PACS and Modalities).
Each Filler Order may contain one or more Requested Procedures. Each Requested Procedure is identified by a Requested Procedure ID that needs to be unique only within the scope of the Filler Order Number/Accession Number.
每个Order中包含一个或者多个Procedures,并且在每个用Accession Number标示的Order中,每个procedure都用Request Procedure Id来标示唯一。
A single Requested Procedure of one Procedure Type is the highest hierarchical unit of work level that may give rise to the creation of a report. Each report is one of the results produced to satisfy the order. For example, in a case of the order for an X-ray examination of a patient daily at 8 am for the next three days, each of the daily examinations will require a separate diagnostic report; hence each of them will be treated as a separate Requested Procedure. In order to support DICOM Query/Retrieve mechanism and easy collation of all results pertaining to a single procedure,Order Filler also generates the Study Instance UID, a globally unique identifier for each Requested Procedure. This identifier will be used to identify all generated images and other DICOM objects related to this Requested Procedure.
所以,我们从上边的描述中,可理解,一个Order包含1个或者多个Requested Procedure,每个Requested Procedure对应一份报告。例如,一个医生开出连续三天内,每天的8AM进行X线检查的送检单(Order),那么,每天一次的检查就是一个Requested Procedure,而且,每天都要针对检查出具独立的报告。那么,每个Order用Accession Number来标示,Requested Procedure用Requested Procedure ID来标示。另外,为了将此次检查的所有的结果,如报告、影像,和Requested Procedure产生关联,Order Filler角色还产生一个Study Instance UID,用这个UID将会用来标识所有的设备产生的图像和其他角色产生的DCM对象(例如gsps,报告,二次重建图像等)。
可以将这些关系,根据标准的一个关系图,绘制了一份相对简单的关系的实体结构图。
