Luiz,

Thanks for your comment.

No, UPS (whether DIMSE or RESTful) does not use the same information model as Modality Worklist. The "Unified" part of UPS actually unifying the different types of procedure step (SPS, RPS, PPS). However, I believe most of the same information is still there, just expressed differently; you could likely use the same back-end data store but expose the information either way.

That said, MWL and UPS target slightly different use cases. MWL is oriented toward the initial image capture on the modality device. UPS is oriented towards coordination of post-capture workflow. You could probably use UPS for image capture worklists, but why? Modalities support MWL, generally.

I'm sure one of my colleagues more knowledgable about UPS and MWL can chime in with further info.

It was a really good podcast. I have a question and I will post here. Please let me know if this forum is not correct one for technical questions.

I understand that WADO, STOW and QIDO use the DICOM image information model (Patient-Study-Series-Images).

Does UPS (Unified Procedure Step) use the DICOM Modality Worklist Information model (Images Service Request - Requested Procedure - Scheduled Procedure Steps)?

It was a lot of fun to participate in this, thanks.

I'm always surprised (and pleased) to see the number of Canadians involved in Enterprise Imaging, and the interesting corners we show up in.

Good Afternoon All -

A new #SIIMCast has been posted on the topic of DICOMWeb. http://siimcast.libsyn.com/37-standards-dicomweb

I found this a fun conversation to be part of. I hope some of you are able to enjoy it as well.

Thx,
