T/CHIA 12-2018 The specification for a unique identifier for digital image communication in medicine
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: This standard specifies the coding rules and methods for unique identifiers of medical digital imaging communication examinations, sequence unique identifiers, and image unique identifiers. This standard is applicable to manufacturers of medical devices that support the DICOM standard, developers of PACS (Medical Imaging Storage and Archiving Systems), RIS (Radiology Information Systems), and other software and hardware developers that support the DICOM standard. This standard has the ability to uniquely identify instances of medical digital imaging communication examinations, sequence instances, and image instances, ensuring the uniqueness of medical digital imaging when used across devices, hospitals, regions, and countries.
