Add Veterinary Identification Tags Letter Ballot CP-643 Date: 2006/06/13 Add veterinary identification tags Letter Ballot DICOM Correction Item Correction Number CP-643 Log Summary: Add veterinary identification tags Type of Modification Name of Standard Addition PS 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.16 2006 Rationale for Correction Veterinary applications require additional identifying attributes that define the owner as well as characteristics of the species and breed. These are added to all existing and future composite image and non-image IODs by specifying their inclusion in the General Patient and Patient Study modules. The attributes are required to be present if the subject is not a human (forcing their support by veterinary products, without interfering with the installed base of human products), but some may be empty (zero length) if unknown (e.g. the species or breed is unknown). The Patient Neutered value is added to the Patient Study Module, which may have different values for different studies, whereas values in the General Patient Module remain fixed for the life of the patient. The concept of other patient identifiers than the primary Patient ID attribute is generalized by the introduction of a sequence to encode other identifiers, each with a specified issuer and type, in order to encode anatomically-embedded identifiers like RFID chips. Additionally, an alternate understanding of the structure of the Patient Name is necessary in a veterinary context (where the patient does not have a “family name” but instead uses that of the owner). Corresponding attributes are also added to Modality Worklist. The Subject Context template in PS 3.16 is also updated. Sections of documents affected PS 3.3 C.7.1.1 PS 3.3 C.7.2.2 PS 3.16 Correction Wording: Add to PS 3.3 A.1.2.1 the bold underlined text: A.1.2.1 PATIENT IE The Patient IE defines the characteristics of a patient who is the subject of one or more medical studies that produce medical images.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • The Origin and Relationships of the Mustang, Barb, and Arabian Horse
    Author’s Preface: The article which follows was commissioned in 2002 by the remarkable Viggo Mortensen, who starred as Aragorn in “The Lord of the Rings” movie trilogy, and who thereafter completely transformed himself to become Frank T. Hopkins for the film “Hidalgo”. Frank T. Hopkins was a real person of part American Indian ancestry, who as a youth in the 1870’s had worked as an errand rider for the U.S. Cavalry on the Plains and who later became a skillful and successful endurance rider and circus performer. During production of “Hidalgo”, Mortensen, who is interested in horses, mooted the idea of publishing a book about the various horse breeds involved in that film. The writer for Hidalgo was John Fusco, who also wrote the DreamWorks film “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron” on which I worked as technical consultant. Fusco breeds mustangs and has also become a friend. He introduced me through correspondence to Mortensen, and the writing project evolved out of that. Unfortunately the book was destined never to be published, although a slightly shorter version of this article was posted for a time at the “Hidalgo” website. We re-post it here in hopes that it will continue to be of help and interest to horse lovers everywhere. THE ORIGIN AND RELATIONSHIPS OF THE MUSTANG, BARB, AND ARABIAN HORSE © 2008 by Deb Bennett, Ph.D. Horse and Human Come Together An icy wind tosses a skiff of powder-fine snow across frozen ground, swirling in hoofprints freshly hollowed by a band of horses. Snorting softly, the stocky and shaggy beasts bunch together for warmth and protection.
