  4. Problems encountered • Difficult to install and maintain • Platform (and vendor) dependent • Close system

  5. ACR-NEMA • American College of Radiologists National Electrical Manufacturers' Association • DICOM – Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine

  6. DICOM: Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine • Specifies a non-proprietary data interchange protocol and image format for medical images and image related information. • The information is modeled with entity-relationship (E-R) model

  7. DICOM Data • Information Object Definition (IOD) - A data abstraction of a class of real-world objects • DICOM Message Service Element (DIMSE) - The set of DICOM Application Layer communication services. • DIMSE Service Group (DSG) - A subset of the full DIMSE services which is applicable to a specific IOD • Service Object Pair (SOP) = IOD + DSG

  8. DICOM Information Model Service Class Specification specifies related SOP Class(es) defined as Service Group applied to an Information Object Definition is a group of contains DIMSE Services Attributes

  9. Attribute (data element) – The functional unit of DICOM • The Attribute includes : • A tag that identifies the element, • Value Representation that describes how the value field to follow is represented • The length field that gives the length of the value field that follows • The Value field that contains the value to be transmitted

  10. DICOM Toolkit • Imagectn – Implements DICOM Image Archive Application Entity (Title, host, port) Storage Query Retrieval

  11. Imagectn • Accepts SOP classes of storage service class and Query/Retrieve service class • Maintains Database • Never exits

  12. Storescu • Implements SCU for storage service class • Connects storage SCP

  13. Findscu • Implements SCU for Query/Retrieve service class • Supports querying, using C-FIND

  14. Movescu • Implements SCU for Query/Retrieve service class (uses C-MOVE) and • SCP for storage service class • Configuration of storage areas

  17. WWW Interface to DICOM Archive • Using Existing PCs • Familiarity and User Friendly • Platform Independence

  18. Display medical images on a web browser • Load DICOM files from the Internet • Perform various Image manipulations • Build a user-friendly interface
