This repository contains code for additional SR-template structures extending the highdicom Python library. The following templates have been added to describe annotations for ECG reports (TID 3700):
- TID 2000 (Basic Diagnostic Imaging Report)
- TID 3700 (ECG Report)
- TID 3802 (Cardiovascular Patient History)
Additionally, a Kaapana extension has been developed to enable querying of annotation metadata(segmentation or structure reports) within their respective report modalities, such as images (CT, MR, CR...) or waveforms (ECG). This allows cohorts to be selected multimodally and with greater specificity to additional reports. To install the extension, refer to the instructions here.
For more detailed description we refer to our associated paper.
The unification of electronic health records promises interoperability of medical data. Divergent data storage options, inconsistent naming schemes, varied annotation procedures, and disparities in label quality, among other factors, pose significant challenges to the integration of expansive datasets especially across instiutions. This is particularly evident in the emerging multi-modal learning paradigms where dataset harmonization is of paramount importance. Leveraging the DICOM standard, we designed a data integration and filter tool that streamlines the creation of multi-modal datasets. This ensures that datasets from various locations consistently maintain a uniform structure. We enable the concurrent filtering of DICOM data (i.e. images and waveforms) and corresponding annotations (i.e. segmentations and structured reports) in a graphical user interface. The graphical interface as well as example structured report templates is openly available at https://github.com/Cardio-AI/fl-multi-modal-dataset-creation.
