    Description

      US Core has the following defined for MS:

      US Core Responders SHALL be capable of populating all data elements as part of the query results

       

      However, imagingStudies are not supported by the majority of systems and therefore should not be a MS. (It is too use case specific for a US Core wide requirement) This would be an unnecessary barrier to adoption.
