Product: Imaging Object Change Management (IOCM)
Overview
OmegaAI now introduces the Imaging Object Change Management (IOCM) feature. It is a DICOM/IHE standard that allows imaging systems to communicate image rejection and deletion events across connected systems.
What's New
1. Imaging Object Change Management (IOCM)
What changed:
When an image, series, study, document, or report is deleted or rejected in OmegaAI, IOCM automatically notifies configured external PACS, VNAs, archives, and imaging systems so they can update their records accordingly.
-
Outbound Notifications – OmegaAI sends rejection notices to external systems
-
Inbound Notifications – OmegaAI receives rejection notices from external systems and updates affected objects within OmegaAI
Benefits:
- IOCM helps maintain consistency across connected imaging systems by:
- Preventing use of rejected or invalid images
- Synchronizing image deletion and rejection decisions across systems
- Supporting patient safety initiatives
- Maintaining audit and compliance records Eliminating manual communication between systems
Important Notes
Does IOCM change the deletion process?
No. Users continue deleting images as usual. IOCM processing occurs automatically in the background.
Can users change the rejection reason?
Yes. The configured default reason is pre-selected but can be modified before confirming the deletion.
Can IOCM be enabled for specific stations only?
Yes. IOCM is configured independently for each station.
Is every IOCM transaction audited?
Yes. All delivery attempts, whether successful or unsuccessful, are recorded in the audit log.
Does moving a series trigger IOCM?
Yes. OmegaAI generates IOCM notifications for the moved series.
