The NM Image Profile specifies how NM Images are to be stored by Acquisition Modalities and Evidence Creator workstations and how Image Displays should retrieve and make use of them. It defines the basic display capabilities Image Displays are expected to provide, (such as might be sufficient for a referring physician) but does not address advanced review features. It also defines how result screens, both static and dynamic, such as those created by NM Cardiac Processing Packages, should be stored using DICOM objects that can be displayed on general purpose Image Display systems. The NM Image Profile can be enhanced by combining it with other workflow profiles such as Scheduled Workflow, Post-Processing Workflow and Reporting Workflow which address how to schedule, manage and report the status of the steps in which NM Image objects are created.
