Archive

Radiology Archives

The archive page contains deprecated supplements and superseded versions of the Technical Framework volumes, white papers and handbooks. As of July 2012, it also contains:

  • Superseded versions of trial implementation supplements
  • Current published versions of the Technical Framework volumes and supplements
Current documents (published July 2012 or later) have generic files names, for example:
  • IHE_RAD_TF_Vol1
  • IHE_RAD_Suppl_AIR
Those links always return the most recent published document and support linking (Technical Framework Volumes only) to specific sections (section linking details here). File names on the archive page include revision numbers, status and date of publication, and can be used to link to specific versions of a document:
  • IHE_RAD_TF_Rev20-0_Vol1_FT_2022-03-10
  • IHE_RAD_Suppl_AIR_Rev1-2_TI_2020-07-16
