Annex IIITHE MAMMOGRAPHY EXTRACTThe Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) mammography handbook is useful for those who preparerequest for proposal (RFP) documents for digital mammography (http://www.ihe.net/Resources/upload/IHE_Mammo_Handbook_rev1.pdf).To help the reader to understand the concepts and language of the IHE standard, selected sections of the IHEmanuals pertinent to digital mammography have been abstracted. The extract is a snapshot in time, and maybecome obsolete, as corrections and updates may subsequently be made to the current technical framework. Thisframework can be found on the IHE web site at http://www.ihe.net/Technical_Framework/index.cfm#radiology.An electronic version of this extract can be found at http://wwwpub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1482Files/Annex_3_IHE_MammoExtract.pdfand by accessing theIAEA web site at: http://nucleus.iaea.org/HHW/Home/index.html.171
