When references are made to another section within a Technical Framework volume, a section
number is used by itself. When references are made to other volumes or to a Technical Framework
in another domain, the following format is used:
<domain designator> TF-<volume number>: <section number>, where
<domain designator> is a short designator for the IHE domain (ITI = IT Infrastructure, RAD =
Radiology)
<volume number> is the applicable volume within the given Technical Framework (e.g., 1, 2a, 2b,
2x, 3), and <section number> is the applicable section number.
For example: ITI TF-1: 3.1 refers to Section 3.1 in volume 1 of the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical
Framework. RAD TF-3: 4.33 refers to Section 4.33 in volume 3 of the IHE Radiology Technical
Framework. ITI TF-2x: Appendix B refers to Appendix B in volume 2x of the IHE IT Infrastructure
Technical Framework.
When references are made to Transaction numbers in the Technical Framework, the following
format is used:
[<domain designator>-<transaction number>], where
<transaction number> is the transaction number within the specified domain.
For example: [ITI-1] refers to Transaction 1 from the IHE IT Infrastructure Technical Framework.
