The intent of this content profile is to capture structure and codify the keydiscrete data that is today conveyed in cardiology imaging reports.b. There is no widely accepted standard for report composition across the broadrange of imaging procedures in cardiology.c. Furthermore, registry-submission and clinical records have broader data scopethan individual cardiac procedure reports. The work here is an initial attempt tosupport the communication of discrete cardiac data throughout and betweenenterprises, it will require extension and extensive collaboration in futureupdates to the <strong>IHE</strong>-TF.4 There are currently no specific requirements for Content Consumers with respect tohaving to handle multiple coding schemes.
