Creating a body part field mapping for mammography (and other) modalities


When required, you can create customized field mappings to accommodate the syntax used by a particular modality or RIS. One case where this could be useful is to have information extracted based on body part.

The following procedure outlines how to map the body_part study attribute to BREAST for all MG studies.

To create a body part field mapping for mammography (and other) modalities

  1. On the Setup tab, click Source Manager.Source Manager

  2. Switch to the Field Mappings tab.

  3. From the Station name list at the bottom of the tab, select the acquisition station to configure.

    If the required station is not listed, switch to the Description tab and add it.

    Note:

    Note:

    To add the body_part mapping to all stations in the cluster, select the DEFAULT station.

  4. Click New Mapping.

  5. From the Attribute class list, select study.

  6. From the Attribute name list, select body_part.

  7. In the Attribute Expression field, type

    select( index( getdicomstring(524384), 'MG', getdicomstring(524384) ),'BREAST', getdicomstring(0x180015) )

  8. To close the dialog, click OK.

  9. Click Save.Save


To create a similar mapping for other modalities, adjust the Attribute Expression syntax as appropriate. If the body_part (0x180015) Attribute Name does not work, try using body_part_examined (0x180015), as that often contains valid body part values.
