1. Radiation Dose Follow-up Presentation at Berlin meeting White Paper by Joël Chabriais on July 15 IHE Profile proposal by July 31. Accepted for 2007/2008 development cycle. Supported by: ACR, SFR, ESR, SNM, RSNA, ASN, IRSN, SEFM… Documents on WG 10 ftp site: ftp://medical.nema.org:21//medical/private/dico m/WORKGRPS/Wg10/2007/2007-06-28/

2. Radiation Dose Follow-up It seems that some vendors doesn’t understand the interest to move from MPPS and Image IODs to Radiation Dose SR: Informative action is needed. Informative event for Radiologists is planned for JFR’08 and ECR’09. Demo at JFR’09.

3. Why should we add?  Performance, cost, compatibility, new capabilities, development schedule, customer integration  WS enable to integrate with many off the shelf products (e.g. dashboard, switchboard)  Developers familiar with WS are more available than developers familiar with DICOM  IT managers are more familiar with WS than DICOM  long term development  Internet configuration is more familiar (routers, firewalls…)  Because DICOM is service based, it would be logical to define WS for DICOM communication  New technologies we want to integrate with are often based on WS DICOM WG10/Web Services, Intermediary Report

4. Web Services… can we add now?  The WS are now in the “maturing process”  The deployment beyond web server to web server is emerging (application to application)  The WS, which are mature in other industries, are now emerging in Healthcare, especially to integrate multiple applications  The WS-I Profiles are defining a real interoperable solution, including (more or less!) the security and reliability aspects  There are emerging mechanisms for conveying binary content (MTOM/XOP, Fast Infoset) now supported by multiple development platforms (.Net, Java…) DICOM WG10/Web Services, Intermediary Report

5. WADO in WS, which form?  IHE ITI defined a White Paper on WS implementation of profile, based on WS-I  The IHE ITI XDS.b Retrieve Document Set transaction is similar to WS/WADO  All the WADO query parameters can be directly transposed « as is » in WS  The response structure can be derived from the Retrieve Document Set structure Additionally to the Retrieve Dicom Object operation, two additional transactions might be defined in order to enable a “non DICOM protocol enabled” application to communicate with a DICOM equipment:  Notification of the availability of DICOM Object(s)  Query based on ID(s) for DICOM Objects (and not only based on UIDs) DICOM WG10/Web Services, Intermediary Report

6. Planning  Initial discussion on the topic at the RSNA 2007 DSC meeting  Elaboration of the NWIP at the January 2008 WG10 meeting (at the HL7-ISO week)  Approval of NWIP at the April 2008 Chengdu DSC meeting  Finalization of the supplement early in 2009.
