When referring to a non-DICOM image, the DocumentReference.content.attachment.url should be a direct URL to the image. When the resource represents a DICOM instance it SHALL contain a the SOP Instance UID in the identifier element. When the resource represents a DICOM series it SHALL contain the Series Instance UID in the identifier element. |
| EEHRxF MHD DocumentReference Profile for Imaging Reports |
Profile for DocumentReference resources used in the EEHRxF context, based on the IHE MHD Minimal DocumentReference profile. This profile is used for the DocumentReference resources that represent imaging reports in the EEHRxF context. It includes additional constraints and extensions specific to imaging reports, such as the type of report, the clinical specialty, the anatomical region of interest and the profile of the imaging report. |
| EHDS Access: EEHRxF MHD DocumentReference Profile |

| Observation: Gestational Age |
Gestational Age Observation |
| Observation: Imaging Finding |

| Observation: Radiation Dose |
A record for the radiation dose the subject has been exposed to during an imaging procedure. E.g. based on information from https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part16.html and https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-radiation-dose-summary-ig/index.html |
| Procedure: Imaging Acquisition |
This profile on Procedure represents the imaging procedure. In this DICOM this is referred as the 'Performed Procedure Step' (PPS). This profile is used to capture metadata about the imaging procedure itself. |
| ServiceRequest: Imaging Order |
This profile on ServiceRequest represents the order for the Imaging Study and report. In DICOM this is referred
to as the Requested Procedure. The |
These define constraints on FHIR data types for systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| Identifier: Accession Number |
This profile on Identifier represents the Accession Number for the Imaging Order. Within a Hospital Information System environment, accession numbers will usually uniquely identify a manifest or report but are not required to always map 1:1 with a report or manifest due to certain imaging workflows. The imaging report may not be uniquely identified by accession number in an overread scenario (two radiologists reading a single imaging study). The manifest may not be uniquely identified by accession number in the case that the RIS imaging request (accession number assigner) requires two imaging modalities to perform the exam, and thus produces two image manifests. In order to ensure uniqueness across Hospital Information Systems, accession numbers are required to have a system value that identifies the namespace for the issuing authority (ensuring their global uniqueness). |
| Identifier: SOP Instance UID |
This profile on Identifier represents the SOP Instance UID (0008,0018) for the Imaging Order. |
| Identifier: Study Instance UID |
This profile on Identifier represents the Study Instance UID (0020,000D) for the Imaging Order. |

Document type codes for clinical precision in document identification. This ValueSet contains LOINC codes for specific document types used in DocumentReference.type. Unlike category (coarse search), type provides clinical precision for identifying exact document kinds. Usage Pattern:
MVP Document Types (Priority Categories):
Note: This list will expand as additional priority categories are implemented. JFM: This ValueSet should be made up of other ValueSets, with each of them assigned to one of the priority categories. Thus it is clear what document types are within each category. Is this the place to find all of them? https://confluence.hl7.org/spaces/HEU/pages/358255737/Implementation+Guides |
| ValueSet: Anatomical Region |
A shortlist of anatomical regions that can be used for searching reports and manifests. When the MADO manifest is implemented, this ValueSet can be replaced with a reference to that ValueSet. |
| ValueSet: DiagnosticReport supportInfo codes |
Codes to be used in |
| ValueSet: Imaging Device Type |
Imaging Device Type. |
| ValueSet: Imaging Procedure Type |
This value set includes all imaging procedure types defined in SNOMED CT. The codes represent combinations of the modality to be used and the procedure to be performed. |
| ValueSet: Imaging Study Performer Type Value Set |
Imaging Study series performer type codes, it extends on the base set defined in the FHIR specification. |
| ValueSet: Radiology Report Types |
The set of radiology types as defined by LOINC. |

These define new code systems used by systems conforming to this implementation guide.
| EHDS Access: EEHRxF Document Priority Category CodeSystem |
CodeSystem for priority document categories in EEHRxF as the document categories as defined in the EHDS regulation. The codes defined here are directly linked to the Priority Categories defined in the EHDS regulation. The meaning of these codes is directly linked to the meaning given to the concepts in the EHDS regulation. The EHDS Regulation initially defines six priority categories of electronic health data that all Member States must support first for cross-border primary use. These categories are explicitly listed in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2025/327. Article 105 specifies the date when support for these priority categories is required: 26 March 2029 for categories (a), (b) and (c); 28 March 2031 for (d), (e) and (f). EHDS empowers the EU Commission to make changes to the list of priority categories at any point in time by means of a Delegated Act (Article 14(2)). There will be a minimum 1-year lead time between the decision to add a new priority category and the initial date when support ahs to be implemented. The definitions of the priority categories comes from ANNEX I of the EHDS Regulation. |
| ValueSet: Diagnostic Report Support Info Code System |
Code system for codes to be used in |
| ValueSet: Missing DICOM Terminology |
Code system for codes that are defined in DICOM but for which no matching code system is available in FHIR. |
