Description of Activities
A MammoDiagnost DR 1.0 "Examination" is regarded equivalent to a DICOM
Procedure Step. It is scheduled or manually entered before an acquisition is taken,
and performed by taking acquisitions. If scheduled by the RIS, one Examination is the
result of one Scheduled Procedure Step. Since an examination may not be re-opened
after having been closed, and each examination workflow context is enclosed in one
MPPS, one examination may result in 0:1 MPPS instances. However, image archiving
after the examination's closure leads to 1:n MPPS instances per examination (append
case).
After the image for a Scheduled Procedure Step has been acquired, the system sets
the MPPS status of the related examination to "IN PROGRESS" and generates an
initial MPPS IN PROGRESS message. The system does not generate intermediate
MPPS IN PROGRESS messages for subsequent acquisitions of this Scheduled
Procedure Step instance.
After finishing the appropriate acquisition(s), the system will change the MPPS status
of the related examination to "COMPLETED" and generate an MPPS N-SET-FINAL
message.
MammoDiagnost DR 1.0 also generates MPPS messages for unscheduled
examinations.
The MPPS COMPLETED message will list the UID's of all related DICOM archived
images and the format of (optionally) generated direct prints.
After abandoning or discontinuing a procedure step, the operator may set the MPPS
status of the related examination to "DISCONTINUED" and the system generates a
