Imaging Study Series

A unique identifier of an imaging study series.

Uniquely specifies the modality of the instances in the series. Value Set: https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/2018a/output/chtml/part16/sect_CID_29.html

The numeric identifier of this series in the study (e.g., "01234").

The number of SOP Instances in the Study. The value given may be larger than the number of instance elements this resource contains due to resource availability, security, or other factors. This element should be present if any instance elements are present.

The anatomical site where the medical imaging study was performed (e.g., right hand, left hand, both hands, head, chest). Value Set: https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/ValueSet/anatomicaloracquiredbodystructurecode

The side of the body where the medical imaging study was performed (e.g., right, left, midline). Note: Body site and laterality are separate elements to support different ways systems capture this information. Some systems include laterality in the body site, while others record it separately. Having both elements helps support consistent use and sharing of the data across systems. Value Set: https://fhir.infoway-inforoute.ca/ValueSet/lateralitycode

Uniquely specifies the person’s physical position during the medical imaging study (e.g., supine, standing). Value Set: To be developed.

The orientation(s) or view(s) used to capture a set of medical images.

The contrast-enhancement phase represented by the images in a medical imaging series, based on acquisition timing relative to contrast agent administration and expected contrast distribution.
