Using these fields along with the PARENT DATA FILE, backward navigation is possible whether it be to a multiple of a file, or a multiple of a sub-file of a file. Each image that is captured is associated with a procedure or test report. Depending on the service collecting the image, different types of reports will be associated. For example: * Medical Procedures: Endoscopy, Dermatology, Hematology, Rheumatology, etc. * Anatomic Pathology: Surgical Pathology, Cytology, Autopsy, Electron Microscopy * Radiology: Xray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound * Surgery Operation reports * Text Integration Utility Progress notes In order to be able to display information from the associated report, references to that report are stored in the Image file. One of these references is a pointer to the Parent Report file (2005.03), which contains an entry for each package's report file that is currently supported.

Fields

#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.001	file/subfile number		11			This is the actual number of a file or sub-file of a file. Some examples of the .001 field are: For Radiology Reports file it is 74, for the Message file (MailMan) it is 3.9, for Endoscopy (Medicine) 655, for Surgery 130, and for Surgical Pathology it is 63.08 (the sub-file number of Lab Data file, 63).
.01	file/subfile name(+)	0;1	FREE TEXT		B	This is the actual name of the file or sub-file of a file. Some examples would be Message, Surgery, Surgical Pathology.
.02	abbreviation	0;2	FREE TEXT			This is the commonly used abbreviation for the file or sub-file. Some examples would be SUR, MAIL, ENDO, SP etc.
.03	global root type	0;3	SET OF CODES	1:ROOT1 2:ROOT2 3:ROOT3		This is used in the editing and deletion of image pointers in other files. Since the Image file (2005) is pointed to by a variety of files a system had to be created to enable backward navigation. The global root data types or forms have been put into three groups: ROOT1 - like "^RARPT("; "^SRO("; "^LR("; ROOT2 - like "^XMB(3.9,"; "^MCAR(699," ROOT3 - like "^LR(D0,""SP""," SUB-FILE of ^LR( (where D0 = LRDFN)
.04	file pointer	0;4	POINTER	1		This is the parent file pointing to ^DIC( - in most cases it will also be the .001 field since it will be a parent file itself. But in the case of sub-files, like the laboratory sub-files, it will not be the .001 field, but the number of the parent file. For example the Radiology entry has 74 for the .001 field and 74 for this field. However the Surgical Pathology entry has 68.03 for the .001 field, and 63 for the .04 field.
40	package index	2;1	SET OF CODES	RAD:RAD LAB:LAB MED:MED NOTE:NOTE CP:CP SUR:SUR CONS:CONS PHOTOID:PHOTOID NONE:NONE		This is the abbreviation of the application (package) that the image is attached to.
41	class index	2;2	POINTER	2005.82		The classification of the image. CLASS is an index field used for sorting and searching.
42	type index	2;3	POINTER	2005.83		The TYPE of image. TYPE is an index field used for sorting and searching.
43	proc/event index	2;4	POINTER	2005.85		The PROCEDURE/EVENT for the image. PROCEDURE/EVENT is an index field used for sorting and searching.
44	spec/subspec index	2;5	POINTER	2005.84		The SPECIALTY/SUBSPECIALTY of the image. SPECIALTY/SUBSPECIALTY is an index field used for sorting and searching.
45	origin index	2;6	SET OF CODES	V:VA N:NON-VA		This field indicates whether an image or document originated inside or outside of VA.
