GONZALEZ LOPEZ, Dahilys; ALVAREZ BARRERAS, Liset M.  and  FERNANDEZ OROZCO, Adrián. Implementation of DICOM SR and HL7 CDA standards for the creation and edition of digital imaging reports. RCIM [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.1, pp. 71-86. ISSN 1684-1859.

As new information technologies, standards and agreements appear, it has been possible to increase the interoperability among applications in health care systems in the world. This article shows a study that aims to facilitate the use of standards and technologies that are available to the health care field, mainly in hospitals. The work is focused on the usage of HL7 CDA and DICOM SR standards to the edition of reports from imaging studies, because the issuance of these reports is one of the core activities at the departments of imaging diagnostics. The paper describes the main functionalities and features as a basis for a computer system capable of adapt to different environments and scenarios, allowing streamline and standardize the process to be computerized. With the implementation of these standards, highly standardized systems would be achieved, and also features as generality, flexibility, accessibility, low implementation cost, low infrastructure needs, long-lasting and independence of technology change.

Keywords : DICOM SR; standards; HL7 CDA; interoperability.
