Topic: DICOM codes problem

In UTG, there is a code system v3-DCM, url = http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom, and OID = 1.2.840.10008.2.16.4
In FHIR, the DICOM URL is http://dicom.nema.org/resources/ontology/DCM, which was agreed with NEMA. It also has the OID 1.2.840.10008.2.16.4.
I think that UTG is wrong here, and we should fix it to http://dicom.nema.org/resources/ontology/DCM, and move http://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom to the naming system. @Ted Klein @John Moehrke

(John, this may be the source of at least some of your problems; I'm still getting to them)
John Moehrke (Aug 17 2020 at 12:41):
so the core build has not worked since I did those updates a few weeks ago?
Grahame Grieve (Aug 17 2020 at 20:20):
I'm not sure - I can't build it right now for other reasons
Ted Klein (Aug 17 2020 at 23:36):
Yes this sounds like the right thing to do. The existing UTG URL was created algorithmically without referencing the FHIR pages :-( my bad. The HTA pages I think are being worked on responding to comments on them from John. The OID 1.2.840.10008.2.16.4 has been registered in the HL7 OID registry since June 2003, and it has been published as a code system stub (no content) in v3 with that OID since that time. I'll make the technical correction fix tomorrow.

Confirmed, i'm working on the HTA page now.

HTA has made the changes and the UTG update process to correct will begin.
