5 Comments 132 : ABOUT THIS FORM: The purpose of this document is to depict all data elements included in the ImageGuide data registry and to serve as a sample user interface for the reporting vendors. This form will not be used to collect and submit data to the registry. The form depicts all data elements as defined in the Data Dictionary. Also included are the selections for each data element, element relationships (i.e., ), data types (e.g., free text, categorical, continuous, date, date/time), required elements and coding instructions (e.g., select one, check all that apply). The bolded data elements are defined as unique elements in the Data Dictionary. The selections, or permissible values, for each data element are denoted with a (i.e., radio button). A radio button implies that only a single selection can be made for that element. The symbol indicates a check box. Multiple check box selections may be made unless otherwise noted American Society of Nuclear Cardiology 9/1/2015 v1.0 Page 5 of 5
