IHE Radiology Technical Framework Supplement – Stereotactic Mammography Image (SMI)

This supplementary resource specifies how DICOM stereotactic breast projection x-ray images are created, exchanged and used. It describes how acquisition modalities transfer the images and how image displays retrieve and make use of the images. It defines the basic display capabilities image displays are expected to provide, and which attributes should be used to implement those capabilities. The resource is designed to provide faithful and complete storage and retrieval of stereotactic breast projection x-ray imaging data, and sufficient display capability to allow optimal visualisation of images for the purpose of consultation or second opinion. This profile was retired in June 2024.
