Features in the 2.0 Release

The Annotation and Image Markup (AIM) information model version 4.0 has several new significant capabilities, as described in the AIM 4.0 release notes. AIM Template Builder (ATB) 2.0 offers new features that allow investigators to design templates to collect additional information specified by the AIM 4.0 model. Other ATB 2.0 capabilities are based on user feedback.

  • Ability to assign default answer(s) to a question and characteristic quantification
  • Fewer steps to create anatomic entity, imaging observation, inference, calculation, and geometric shape components
  • Ability to assign no more questions to an answer choice (all skipped questions must have an answer if the minimum answer choice is set to one)
  • Ability to assign a question as a coded term to an annotation role entity, anatomic entity, anatomic entity characteristic, imaging observation, imaging observation characteristic, inference, calculation, geometric shape, graphical drawing or markup, and calculation entity
  • Ability to add tags to an AIM template group
  • Ability to assign an imaging modality to a template
