Hello all, There is a letter ballot for Proposed DICOM Correction Package #113 (CPack-113) CPs are batched into CPacks for balloting to the DICOM Standard Committee members. Approved corrections are incorporated into the next edition of the DICOM Standard, which is now released 5 times a year, following each WG-06 Base Standard meeting. Correction Proposals may address: • Ambiguities – standard text that is not precise or leads to various interpretations. • Clarifications – to facilitate the interpretation of the Standard but not change the spec • Errata – correction of normative and informative errors. • Inconsistencies – sections of the Standard that contain conflicting definitions. • Omissions – Obvious text was not included in the Standard. The following Correction Proposals, approved by WG-06, are included in this ballot: - CP-1950 Add measurement codes for Cardiac Strain - CP-2115 Per-segment multiple algorithms and creators - CP-2116 More dates, times, datetimes and selector attributes need de-identification - CP-2117 Add ICD-O-3 and ICD-10-CM as Coding Schemes - CP-2119 PS3.7: Correct Annotation in (sub-)item negotiation figures - CP-2120 Clarifications to de-identification - CP-2122 Fix QIDO-RS user agent Query Parameter Requirement - CP-2124 Provide two meanings for some EEG lead codes - CP-2125 Add new EEG Leads - CP-2126 Extend Source Pixel Plane Characteristics - CP-2127 Clarify Origin of Device-Based FoR - CP-2128 UV Mapping Module Corrections - CP-2131 Correct Beam Modifier Coordinate System description - CP-2132 Correct Patient Position Order table name - CP-2133 Add CAD-RADS scores as coded values - CP-2134 Harmonize description and clarify usage of “Referenced Imaging Agent Identifier” within TID 11022 and TID 11023 - CP-2137 PS3.18 Metadata is Dataset only and does not include Group 0002 File Meta Information Each proposal specifies the type of correction, the rationale for the correction, the sections of the DICOM Standard that will be changed, and the correction wording.
