Radiation Dose Summary for Diagnostic Procedures on FHIR (Jira PSS-1716)

The IHE Dose Reporter actor from the IHE REM profile gather Radiation information and dose reports from modalities. However, there is no standardization of the exposure of the gathered data to third parties in light format/API. Dose Management systems need to share information related to the exam to multiple third parties : Mobile Applications, RIS/EHR, and third backend systems.

The DICOM RDSRs have a complete and a strong structure for sharing the dose information from the modalities to the Dose Consumer/Reporter actors, and also between the Dose Reporter and the Dose Registry systems. However, most of third party application have a very light needs for the Dose report. For example, RIS systems in France needs only for CT Dose Length Product Total from the CT RDSR, in order to fit local reglementations.

The emergence of HL7 FHIR simplified the exchange between backend applications and third parties through the exchange of normalized resources. This project allows to share minimal dose information through FHIR resources.
