Use Cases

Clinical Sequencing Project - Identified Use Cases to Consider in Specimen CMET - from CG ClinSeq.doc
Specimen Use Case for Isolate Representation
Specimen Use Case for Environmental Specimen
Medical Research Use Case and Specimen Core Diagram Media:Specimen-Core Model Diagram and Medical Research Use Case Process Flow.xls
Origin of Specimen
- Need to indicate whether the specimen is human, animal, soil, etc.
- For viral genetics where DNA/RNA can be extracted from a micro-organism.
Notes from May WGM
- II perspective mainly interested in specimen in context of interventional imaging
- An introduction to the DICOM specimen information model is available in DICOM Part 17 (available free at ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/2011/11_17pu.pdf) Annex NN.
- Detailed specimen information can be found in DICOM Part 3 (available free at ftp://medical.nema.org/medical/dicom/2011/11_03pu.pdf). This information that has been specified by DICOM WG26 "Pathology" (DICOM Supplement 122 "Specimen Identification and Revised Pathology" Project) should be taken into consideration in the project.
