Abstract
OBJECTIVE
We developed a Clinical Document Architecture(CDA) Generator module based on CDA standard for the interchange of radiological reports.
METHODS
This paper describes CDA standard, the template of radiological report, CDA Generator module, and the Web-form report using an Extensible Stylesheet Language(XSL) style-sheet. And the CDA Generator module is integrated into a existing Picture Archiving Communication System(PACS) Viewer.
RESULTS
Radiological reports based on CDA standard are used to interchange between different health institutions, and also presented in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) compatible web browser.
CONCLUSION
The proposed module and concept in this paper may be a utility in improving health care delivery and can also be used to integrate with other Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine(DICOM) Structured Report (SR) compliant PACS systems.
