Imaging Reports using HL7 Clinical Document Architecture

This part of the DICOM Standard specifies templates for the encoding of imaging reports using the HL7 Clinical Document Architecture Release 2 (CDA R2, or simply CDA) Standard.

Within this scope are clinical procedure reports for specialties that use imaging for screening, diagnostic, or therapeutic purposes.

This Part constitutes an implementation guide for CDA, and is harmonized with the approach to standardized templates for CDA implementation guides developed by HL7.

It also provides Business Names for data elements that link data in user terminology, e.g., collected by a report authoring application, to specific CDA encoded elements.
