The primary system-generated or assigned lookup key uniquely identifying a medical imaging scan record within the radiology information system or data warehouse. Used for record retrieval, relational joins across imaging datasets, and cross-referencing scan records with orders and results.
A descriptive display text or tag associated with a medical imaging scan record, used to identify the scan type, body region, or protocol in user interfaces, worklists, and reporting dashboards within radiology information systems and clinical data management applications.
The preferred or documented language associated with the patient or subject at the time of a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology and imaging workflows to ensure reports, instructions, and communications are delivered in the correct language for patient comprehension and care coordination.
The patient's family surname as recorded at the time of a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology information systems to link the scan to the correct patient identity, supporting accurate image retrieval, reporting, and matching against medical records and demographic data.
The patient's full legal name as officially registered at the time of a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology and imaging systems to ensure identity verification, legal documentation compliance, and accurate patient matching across clinical and administrative records.
Hierarchical position indicator in RIS or PACS systems denoting the classification tier of a medical image capture, such as study, series, or instance level. Used by data engineers to structure imaging data models and navigate DICOM hierarchies in data warehouses.
The professional license number of the ordering or performing clinician associated with a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology systems to verify credentialing, support audit trails, and ensure that imaging procedures are authorized and performed by appropriately licensed healthcare professionals.
The marital status of the patient as recorded at the time of a diagnostic imaging scan. Captured during patient registration in radiology workflows, this demographic attribute supports complete patient profiling and may influence coordination of benefits or next-of-kin contact information in imaging records.
The enterprise master patient index identifier linked to a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology and imaging systems to uniquely identify a patient across disparate healthcare systems, ensuring accurate cross-facility image retrieval, patient matching, and longitudinal health record integrity.
The upper boundary value recorded for a specific measurement or parameter captured during a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology and clinical data systems to define acceptable ranges for image acquisition settings, quantitative measurements, or clinical thresholds associated with scan protocols.
The patient's medical record number associated with a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology information systems to link imaging studies to the correct patient chart, enabling accurate retrieval of prior scans, clinical history, and coordinated reporting across inpatient and outpatient care settings.
The patient's middle name or initial as recorded at the time of a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology information systems to support full patient identity verification, reduce duplicate record creation, and improve matching accuracy against existing medical records and demographic profiles.
The lower boundary value recorded for a specific measurement or parameter captured during a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology and clinical data systems to define acceptable thresholds for acquisition settings, quantitative outputs, or clinical reference ranges associated with imaging scan protocols.
The patient's mobile phone number recorded at the time of a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology scheduling and patient communication workflows to send appointment reminders, imaging preparation instructions, and follow-up notifications, supporting patient engagement and reducing missed imaging appointments.
The identifier of the user who last updated the record associated with a diagnostic imaging scan. Used in radiology information and imaging management systems to maintain audit trail integrity, track corrections or amendments, and ensure accountability for changes made to scan-related data.
Timestamp recording the most recent update to a medical image capture record in RIS, PACS, or EHR systems. Essential for data engineers implementing incremental ETL loads, change data capture strategies, and audit trail tracking across radiology data pipelines.
The timestamp recording when a diagnostic imaging scan record was last updated. Used in radiology information systems to maintain data integrity, support audit logging, and track amendments to scan metadata, patient demographics, or imaging results following the original scan capture.
Display label text assigned to a medical image capture procedure in RIS, EHR, or PACS systems, often mapping to a CPT or proprietary procedure description. Data engineers use this field to standardize imaging terminology during claims-to-clinical data reconciliation processes.
Annotation or free-text comment field attached to a medical image capture record in RIS or EHR systems, capturing technologist or radiologist observations. Data engineers must handle this unstructured field with NLP tools or parse it for coded findings during data integration.
Numeric reference value assigned to a medical image capture for tracking within RIS, hospital information systems, or billing platforms. Data engineers use scan numbers to cross-reference imaging orders, completed studies, and associated claims records across integrated healthcare data systems.
