Collection of FHIR JSON objects representing fictious patient vignettes for use in our hackathon environment, along with DICOM images that coraborate each patient's story.
The FHIR resources in this repository are provided under an MIT license. The images under the hackathon-images submodule are mostly provided under an MIT license as well. However, The exceptions to MIT Licensing apply to certain radiology images obtained from TCIA. See README for all details.
The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) is supporting the new DICOMweb and FHIR standards by creating opportunities for it's members to interact with these systems at the annual meeting, and throughout the year through it's Hackathon event, platform and dataset.
We're using images from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) and creating fictious but believable narratives that illustrate concepts common in imaging.
This project will contain FHIR JSON objects surrounding these patient narratives, as well as a Git sub-module for the DICOM images supporting these patient narratives.
During our first hackathon in 2014, we realized that in order to have a successful hackathon across multiple platforms, we need to have a cohesive, rich dataset that will allow people to build interesting applications.
In the top level directory there are directories for resources that cross patients (Medications, Practitioner, Organizations)
Also within the top level directory are a set of sub-folders for each patient. This skeleton contains a set of top-level directories that correspond with the FHIR Resources: http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/resourcelist.html. Within these sub-folders are json FHIR documents.
Each FHIR document should have a commented header that looks like this: // filename // id: random
If set to something other than random, this will be used to create the FHIR resource.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive collection, the types are chosen based on relevance to imaging patients.
Contains DICOM images (aka part 10 files) under each patient's name, nested below are folders representing the individual studies.
These files can easily be pushed in a DICOM server, e.g. Orthanc or dcm4chee, using multiple methods, one of which is the dcm4che library (not to be confused with the dcm4chee server).
NOTE: The DICOM files are placed in a sub-module and therefore are not checked out/cloned automatically. To retrieve the files (about 1.4 GBs), either perform a recursive clone of this repository, or if already cloned, go into the hackathon-images directory and perform git submodule update. For example:
cd hackathon-images
git submodule update --init --recursive
- Original TCIA IDs are retained as MRN
- Accession numbers are used as FHIR IDs for DiagnosticReports
cp fhir_server.yml.dist fhir_server.ymlEdit fhir_server.yml to fit your needs.
Install dependencies for the upload script.
recommend using Poetry to interact with the pyproject.toml
poetry install --no-rootRun the script to upload all of the resources in the sub-folders.
poetry run python upload.py fhir_server.yml .You can also update only a subset of the resources by specifying a top-level directory.
poetry run python upload.py fhir_server.yml siim_andy_tcga-50-5072/DiagnosticReportFormatting and linting support
poetry run black upload.py
poetry run isort --virtual-env .venv upload.pyThere are three components to the MHD resource creation process. The create_mhd.rb script, and two ERB templates for the JSON resources. create_mhd.rb takes a single patient directory as an input, reads all of the resources for that patient, and creates DocumentReference resources for each of the DiagnosticReport and ImagingStudy resources. These are stored in subdirectories for that particular patient.
ruby create_mhd.rb <patient_folder>
These can be subsequently uploaded to a FHIR server
