Open DaveraGabriel opened 4 years ago

The purpose of this step is to have at-the-ready a listing of all SNOMED CT content that is utilized in any DICOM specification

DaveraGabriel commented 4 years ago

Created Googledocs folder with downloaded SNOMED-relevent (current) DICOM specifications here This brings up another question salient question - what version of DICOM is the IDC using or are there a number of versions accommodated? Also note that SNOMED Veterinary subset is cited as being used by DICOM. Assigning the version question as well as use of the Veterinary SCT subset to Community workstream

(sub-subtask) current DICOM specification indicates there is a defined subset of SNOMED CT used in DICOM (PS3.16 2019a, section 2.19 page 72):

"The SNOMED CT terms used in this Standard (the SNOMED CT DICOM Subset) are the subject of a licensing agreement between NEMA and SNOMED International that allows the use of this defined subset in DICOM conformant applications without further license or payment of fee. Any use of SNOMED CT beyond the terms published in the DICOM Standard is subject to SNOMED CT licensing rules, which may include a fee. For further information about SNOMED CT licensing, go to http://www.snomed.org/snomed-ct/ get-snomed or contact SNOMED International at info@snomed.org."

Getting a copy of this subset would be invaluable to completing this set of tasks... @hsolbrig is this something you or @jiaola can do?

Related to comment above, note that the aforementioned section DICOM (PS3.16 2019a, section 2.19 page 72) goes on to cite the utilization of the SNOMED CT Veterinary extension.

"This DICOM Standard incorporates various veterinary terms from the SNOMED CT VetSCT extension, used by permission of the Veterinary Terminology Services Laboratory (VTSL) (http://vtsl.vetmed.vt.edu/). These terms were previously included in SNOMED CT but have since been inactivated as moved elsewhere."

Similar to point above @hsolbrig @jiaola having access to that extension would support completion of this set of tasks and could be useful in addressing other aspects of the CCDH project

I have an image of the extension in OWL for whomever is interested.
