BS 8440-1 This part of BS 8440 defines the concept of a medical digital imaging profile and the way in which a medicaldigital imaging (MDI) profile can be documented in an MDI profile standard. It provides principles andoutlines a taxonomy for MDI profiles submitted for ratification as MDI profile standard standards.
This part of BS 8440 is not concerned with the content of an individual MDI profile.
NOTE1 The existence of a profile classification in this part of BS 8440 does not reflect a judgement by the BSIIST35-IV SpecialGroup for Medical Digital lmaging Profiles (SGMDIP) that a profile is needed to support any specific functionality. It merely providesa capability to identify uniquely such a profile and to enable evaluation of MDI profile standards.
NOTE2 Since profiles are to be proposed according to needs identified to the SGMDIP and according to the progress of internationalMDI standardization,the taxonomy is to be periodically updated or have new parts added in order to reflect the progress made. It isalso recognized that there will be proposals for the extension of the taxonomy to cover functions which were not identified during thepreparation of this standard.These extensions might be identified by a variety of proposers and involve simple extensions to theexisting taxonomy or the addition of new functional areas not currently covered.The inclusion of such extensions is administered byfollowing the procedures elaborated by the SGMDIP.
