VistA Imaging Issues

Here are some points I have learned about VistA imaging.

TIU EXTERNAL DATA LINK (8925.91)

 1  0;1                .01  DOCUMENT                        <-Pntr  [RP8925']
 2  0;2                .02  IMAGE                            <-Pntr  [P2005']
 3  1;1                  1  LINKED DATA OBJECT                            [F]

field .01 will point to a specific TIU document field .02 can link to an entry in the IMAGE file file 1 can hold the path to a fileserver (e.g. i:\images\jr042696.bmp, etc.)

IMAGE file --

 Holds metadata about stored images

If there in an entry in TIU EXTERNAL DATA LINK, then the corresponding document in CPRS will show a picture icon beside it.
