The embedding of multimedia content (e.g. a small image of an electrophoresis chart) in a Laboratory Report is consistent with the CDA R2 Standard. The CDA schema allows both embedded multimedia objects and referenced external multimedia objects. However, this content module restrains the use to embedded multimedia objects only. Additionally, the embedded content SHALL be B64 encoded. This is indicated by setting observationMedia/value/ representation="B64". This profile supports only small images in gif, jpeg, png or bmp format, which are in most cases, not real pictures but simple graphics, such as an electrophoresis chart, embedded in the report, or an illustration of the test results. The sharing of real images (e.g. a picture taken from a microscope, such as the the picture of a kariotype) will be addressed in the future by an extension of the Laboratory Technical Framework.
