The fundamental link to all data about a radiology exam is the rad_exams record. It's unique composite key is the accession_numbers exam identifier and the external_system foreign key. A patient_mrn_id foreign key is also mandatory for an exam to exist, and this can be used to get other patient metadata. The last mandatory column is a foreign key link to external_system_statuses via current_exam_status_id which tracks the universal event type.

rad_exams can have both visits and orders, linked by foreign keys (see Data Model Basics for more info on these relationships), but neither are mandatory. Additionally, site_class, site_sublocation (and implicitly, site_location), and procedure are all optional (but expected) foreign keys.

There are five unique foreign key columns that link to rad_reports, as shortcuts to help find the most commonly needed report revisions (since an exam can have zero or more reports). In order for these columns to be maintained appropriately, it is essential to make sure all external_system_statuses for reports are mapped with a universal_event_type. See below for more details about rad_reports.

• first_report_id - the first report with universal_event_type of prelim, final, or addendum
• first_prelim_report_id - the first report with universal_event_type of prelim
• last_prelim_report_id - the most recent report with universal_event_type of prelim
• first_final_report_id - the first report with universal_event_type of final or addendum
• last_final_report_id - the most recent report with universal_event_type of final or addendum
• current_report_id - the most recent report revision, regardless of status

Finally, there are several additional tables with foreign keys in rad_exams that only are used in the Radiology context at this time: exam_priority_id, rad_exam_department_id, and resource_id.

Priority and Departments

exam_priority is a simple look-up table for the priority of an exam (e.g. STAT, ASAP, etc.)

rad_exam_departments are the performing department or service, often modality- and/or location-oriented. rad_exam_departments are constrained to a specific site and have an optional description to provide additional information.

Resource and Modality

resources represent the physical scanner that an exam was performed with. It is the only way to get the modality type of an exam. resources are constrained to be unique within an external_system domain. Each resource has a site and an optional name column for a more detailed description.

Additionally, resources can be associated with DICOM data via a foreign key to the PACS AE title table, which can be manually associated via a Service Tools edit or through both elements being sent from a clinical data source in the same DICOM or radiology exam message.

Personnel

A rad_exam always has exactly one rad_exam_personnel record which links back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. Each column is a foreign key to employees.

• assisting_tech1_id - a technologist who assisted with the exam
• assisting_tech2_id - a technologist who assisted with the exam
• assisting_tech3_id - a technologist who assisted with the exam
• attending_id - the admitting or attending physician of the patient (not necessarily the ordering or authorizing)
• authorizing_id - the physician who authorized the order (not necessarily attending or ordering)
• begin_exam_id - the user who set the begin exam status
• checkin_id - the user who registered the patient
• end_exam_id - the user who set the end exam status
• ordering_id - the physician who ordered the exam (not necessarily attending or authorizing)
• performing_id - the user who performed a procedure
• scheduler_id - the user who scheduled the exam
• signin_id - the user who arrived the patient
• technologist_id - the technologist who performed the exam

Exam Times

A rad_exam always has exactly one rad_exam_times record which links back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. Each column is a timestamp representing when a specific event in the exam lifecycle took place.

You can also see which metrics are derived from these timestamps visually in the metric-timestamp matrix.

• order_arrival - the time an order arrives in the filling system (universal_event_type=order)
• schedule_event - the time when exam was scheduled from the order (universal_event_type=scheduled)
• reschedule_event - when the exam appointment was rescheduled
• sign_in - when the patient first arrives for an exam (universal_event_type=arrived)
• begin_reg - when a patient begins registration/sign-in
• check_in - when a patient has completed registration / sign-in
• appointment - the time the exam is scheduled to occur
• begin_exam - the time the tech started the exam (universal_event_type=begin)
• begin_exam_event - the time begin exam status was set
• end_exam - the time the tech ended the exam (universal_event_type=complete)
• end_exam_event - the time the end exam status was set
• cancelled - the time an exam was cancelled (universal_event_type=cancelled)
• appointment_duration - the duration an appointment was scheduled (in seconds); this value is synced with orders.appointment_duration
• pacs_read_time - the time an exam was marked as read or dictated in a PACS client (universal_event_type=dictated)

Exam Details

A rad_exam always has exactly one rad_exam_details record which links back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. This table stores optional metadata about an exam.

• patient_age - the patient age at time of exam in days, derived from rad_exam_times.end_exam - patient_age.birthdate
• procedure_modifier_id - foreign key to procedure_modifiers table to show a modifier to the procedure code that was ordered.
• previous_procedure_id - similar to procedure code, but for a procedure which has been changed, foreign key back to procedures table
• procedure_change_reason_id - reason from a list explaining why a procedure was changed, foreign key back to reasons table
• delay_reason_id - reason from a list explaining why a procedure was delayed in starting, foreign key back to reasons table
• diagnosis - free text explanation of why a procedure was ordered
• order_comments - free text comments about the exam or patient, usually entered after the procedure is completed
• procedure_change_comments - free text comments/details explaining why a procedure was changed

Claims and Authorizations

The finance data model has two tables associated with rad_exams:

• rad_exam_authorizations: maps zero or more insurance authorizations with a rad_exam. The auth_number is required, as is an insurance_policy FK back to the insurance_policies table.
• rad_exam_claims: associates N claims with N rad_exams so that charge extraction / linking is possible (for values of N >= 0).

Additional documentation about insurance, claims, and authorizations can be found in the Core and Finance documentation.

DICOM

DICOM metadata about an exam is stored in a model following the hierarchy of the DICOM data model, starting with a dicom_studies table that has one or more child rows in the dicom_series table and finally one or more child rows in the dicom_instances table.

The only instance-level data captured (besides instance UID and FK to series) is the capture timestamp (timestamp from tags (0008,0022) and (0008,0032)).

At the series-level, there is a FK to the study and series UID, as well as FK to the DICOM modality, AE title, bodypart, manufacturer, model number, software version, serial number, and DICOM protocol. Other series-level attributes are the instance (image) count, laterality, and begin and end timestamps (automatically derived from the associated instance capture timestamps).

At the study-level, there is support for the accession number, study UID, and FK to associated rad_exam and procedure information. Other study-level attributes are the instance (image) count, series count, and begin and end timestamps (automatically derived from the associated instance capture timestamps).

Other Metadata

The rad_exam_metadata table is a vertical table for additional metadata about an exam that does not currently fit into the data model. An exam has zero or more records which link back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. The actual metadata value is in the metadata column and the exam_metadata_type and external_system have foreign key columns.

An example of real-world use might be tracking something like fluoroscopy duration, which could be displayed in an application view. In practice, this table can only be used reliably to display extra data or for stand-alone reporting, and it is not frequently configured at integration time.

PACS Metadata

A rad_exam always has exactly one rad_pacs_metadata record which links back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. This table stores metadata about what the PACS knows about an exam. study_comments is a free-text field of unformatted information that may be entered into the PACS. image_count is null by default, but can also be a -1 if an attempt to get the value from the PACS failed. Otherwise it will be 0 if there are no images in the PACS or >=1 depending on how many images reported in the PACS (not that this may vary from vendor to vendor based on how multiframe series and cine are handled). The external_system foreign key is important because it provides integration information for being able to launch an exam contextually.

There are 2 timestamp columns to track when the first and last images in the exam were available in PACS, first_image and last_image, respectively. Depending on the vendor configuration and site workflow, the last image time may be skewed if an image is added to the exam from 3-D/post-processing or Q/A edits affect a split/merge. There are also 2 timestamp columns to track when the first and last images in the exam were acquired by the modality, dicom_begin and dicom_end, respectively.

The remaining columns are foreign keys to rad_pacs_* child lookup tables:

• rad_pacs_modality_id - oftentimes the PACS will have a different DICOM modality than the resource table, so this is segregated into a separate table to reduce noise. An example of this is a CT with a scanned document might render as CTOT in a PACS, but CT from the resource it was performed under.
• rad_pacs_aet_id - the DICOM AE title of the sending modality
• rad_pacs_station_name the DICOM station name of the sending modality
• rad_pacs_speciality_id - similar to rad_pacs_modality, the rad_pacs_specialities are often different than the specialties used in a department (also note the different spelling, based on vendor convention)
• rad_pacs_bodypart_id - some PACS provide a body part mapping based on various internal rules

There are also FK to shared DICOM metadata tables as well for the DICOM device manufacturer, model, serial number, and software version of the modality.

External System Statuses

rad_exam_external_system_statuses is a vertical table for tracking external_system_status changes over time in an external_system that is not the external_system which owns the exam (e.g. a PACS or VR system vs the RIS or HIS). There are zero or more records which link back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. The only value is the column external_system_status_id which links back to the external_system_statuses table.

Metrics

rad_exam_metrics are pre-calculated, commonly used KPIs related to exam and report performance. A rad_exam always has exactly one rad_exam_metrics record which links back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. The columns are all integers representing number of seconds duration between two timestamps related to the exam, and they are updated every message automatically so you don't need to manually get the timestamps and do the math for common performance metrics (and you can also query for metrics within a certain threshold while still being very performant).

You can also see which timestamps are used to calculate these metrics visually in the metric-timestamp matrix.

Reports

An exam has zero or more rad_reports which link back to the exam via the rad_exam_id foreign key. The complete, free-text of the result is in the report_body and the time that text was updated or signed or transcribed is the report_event timestamp. The impression-only section of the report text is available in the report_impression column and indexed separately from the report_body. The type of report event (preliminary, draft, edit, final, etc.) maps back to an external_system_status so the universal_event_type can be derived.

There is an optional transcriptionist_id foreign key back to employees if someone manually transcribed or edited the report. The other 4 foreign keys linking back to employees are the rad1_id through rad4_id columns: these represent contributing personnel to the report. rad1_id is considered to be the signer or approver (usually an attending-status radiologist), with rad2_id through rad4_id being contributors (usually residents or fellows).

Staff Scheduling

Staff scheduling for technologists and radiologists are supported to understand what shift (or task) someone was assigned to work during a given period of time. The utility of this model today is to allow for technologists or radiologists who cover shifts across locations, rad_exam_departments, or specialties to have the related attributes available for use in the rad_exam_facts table (e.g. a radiologist from specialty X read an exam for the specialty Y shift).

Recurring shifts (or task groupings) are defined in in the scheduling_task_groupings table, defined by a unique task_grouping_identifier and an external_system. There are both human-friendly and abbreviated task grouping names supported, as well as attributes that define the specific focus of a shift: a site and technologist rad_exam_department or radiologist specialty foreign key references are all carried forward into the rad_exam_facts table (below).

Instances of a shift (or task) are defined in the scheduling_tasks table, which has a FK back to the scheduling_task_groupings table, as well as its own unique task_identifier and external_system combination. The duration of the shift is delineated by the task_start and task_stop timestamps, the object of the task (currently only employees) is defined by a polymorphic relationship (task_entity_id and task_entity_table_name), with optional attributes to define if a shift is a holiday shift or deleted (will ignore or remove associated attributes for associated exams during this shift).

Rad Exam Facts

The rad_exam_facts table is a third normal form representation of common metrics and dimensions (filters) for radiology exam data. Large, aggregate queries against rad_exams directly in conjunction with information from joined tables can sometimes perform poorly. rad_exam_facts is built specifically to be performant for reporting/analytical queries.

The first thing to note is that not every row in rad_exams will exist in rad_exam_facts. Rows will be excluded for the following reasons:

• Cancelled exams (rad_exam.current_status_id maps to the universal_event_type=cancelled)
• Exams missing an end_exam time (rad_exam_times.end_exam=NULL)

The table is kept up to date in real-time by the data manager. This means whenever an exam is updated with new information, the corresponding rad_exam_fact row will also be updated with the same information. In the case of an update to a parent table of rad_exams (e.g. procedures) then all the matching rad_exams with that procedure will be updated appropriately. The caveat is that this will take some small period time (usually minutes) for the table to catch up to the change because could be millions of rows that need to be updated. An update (such as a change to cancelled status) that fits the exclusion logic listed above will result in entries being removed (or added) to the table.

For the following four timestamps:

• end_exam - from rad_exam_times (will always be present)
• dicom_end - from rad_pacs_metadata (optional)
• first_report - the rad_reports.report_event timestamp for the rad_report.id matching the rad_exams.first_report_id FK (optional, depending on current status)
• prelim_report - the rad_reports.report_event timestamp for the rad_report.id matching the rad_exams.first_prelim_report_id FK (optional, depending on current status)
• final_report - the rad_reports.report_event timestamp for the rad_report.id matching the rad_exams.first_final_report_id FK (optional, depending on current status)

the component values values get extracted to integers for use in filtering/searching, with a column name in the format of timestamp_component, so for the hour component of the end_exam timestamp, the field name would be end_exam_hour. The full list of components is:

• timestamp_year - year extracted from timestamp (not the ISO 8601 year, so value will always match timestamp value)
• timestamp_month - month extracted from timestamp
• timestamp_day - day extracted from timestamp
• timestamp_hour - hour extracted from timestamp
• timestamp_minute - minute extracted from timestamp
• timestamp_epoch - Unix time (seconds since midnight UTC January 1st, 1970) transformation of timestamp
• timestamp_dow - ISO 8601 day of the week (Monday=1, Sunday=7) extracted from timestamp
• timestamp_woy - ISO 8601 week of the year (end days of one year can be week 1 of next year, early days of new year can be week 52 or 53 of previous year) extracted from timestamp
