Develop supplements to DICOM standard for dermoscopy, total body photography, and reflectance confocal microscopy imaging, and develop a supplement for Skin Lesion Tracking Structured Reporting and Skin Lesion CAD Structured Report.

Current Supplements, Work and Objectives

• Supplement 250: 2D Total Body Photography [WI 2022-12-B] will be presented to WG-06 meeting in November 2026 seeking approval for Letter Ballot.
• Supplement 258: 3D Total Body Photography [WI 2022-12-B] will be presented to WG-06 meeting in November 2026 seeking approval for Public Comment.
• Currently, developing draft supplement for Skin Lesion Tracking Structured Report [WI 2026-03-A].
  

Challenges and Opportunities (Environment)

• DICOM standards for dermatology are being tested in real-world applications. A challenge will be maintaining existing standards when changes or corrections are identified by use.
• Lack of experience in developing a SR supplement will be a challenge when WG-19 attempts to develop a standard for Skin Lesion Tracking Structured Reporting and Skin Lesion CAD Structured Report.
  

Future Roadmap and Objectives (WG Direction)

• Progress supplements for 2D and 3D Total Body Photography
• Develop supplement for Skin Lesion Tracking SR and Skin Lesion CAD SR
  

Past Work:

• Supplement 221: Dermoscopy – Final text published December 2020.
• Supplement 226: Cutaneous Confocal Microscopy – Final text published November 2023.
