DICOM Exchanging Imaging Data Various Modality Images, Presentation States, Structured Reports Finding and Retrieving Imaging Objects DICOM Course – Singapore April 2005
DICOM... Is aGLOBAL STANDARDof Communication, developed under joint efforts of ACR (American College of Radiology) NEMA (National Electrical ManufacturersAssoc.) ESC (European Society of Cardiology) ACC (American College of Cardiology) SFR (Société Française de Radiology) DRG (Deutschen Röntgengesellschaft) AAO (American Academy of Ophthalmology) AAD (American Academy of Dermatology) CAP (College of American Pathology) JIRA (Japaneese Radiology Vendors Association)COCIR (European Radiology Vendors Association) And 25 plus vendors……
Since 1997 –Too many to count ! DICOM first release approved October ’9310 year anniversary • 20 Vendors at the ‘93 DICOM RSNA Demonstration • 40 Vendors at the ‘94 and 95 DICOM RSNA Demonstrations • More than 100 Vendors at RSNA 96
DICOM documents updated yearly DICOM 2004 is a compatible extension of DICOM 2003 + 27 Clarifications/Changes + 80 Supplements Available for free from the DICOM website:dicom.nema.org But DICOM 3.0, DICOM 96, DICOM 98, DICOM 99, DICOM 2000 DICOM 2003 are only document publishing names. This has no direct impact on existing Product Conformance !

Build simple and easy-to-implement networks Reap efficiency and productivity benefits Invest in a necessary step for future PACS What can I really do with DICOM TODAY ?

What should I do to build a DICOM Image Transfer Network ? Three Steps: 1 - Clarify my Clinical Needs for Image Transfer and Image processing Applications 2 - Match Those Needs with DICOM Service Classes using the DICOM Conformance Statements 3 - Validate the Imaging Application Interoperability
Step 2 - Compare DICOM Conformance Statements CT ScannerConformance Statement WorkstationConformance Statement 1-CT STORAGE SCP 2-QUERY SCU 3-RETRIEVE SCU 4-MR STORAGE SCP 5- BASIC PRINT SCU 1-CT STORAGE SCU 2-QUERY SCP 3-RETRIEVE SCP 4-MODALITY WORKLIST SCU SCU = Service Class USER SCP = Service Class PROVIDER Matching DICOM Service ClassesThe necessary step to find what will work
CR Image StorageSOP Class CT Image StorageSOP Class Patient Module General Study Module Patient Study Module* Frame of Reference Module General Series Module General Equipment Module Image Plane Module Image Pixel Module Contrast/Bolus Module General Image Module Overlay Plane Module* VOI LUT Module* Image Module SOP Common Module Service Object Pair (SOP) Class + = DICOMCommunication (SOP Class) Image Info.

Send/Receive (i.e. push images on the network) SOP Class dependent on IOD CT, MR, US, CR/DR, X-ray, Secondary Capture, RT, NM, Structured Report… (i.e. not only images) How the SCP stores the image is not defined by DICOM (i.e. storage of all data not guaranteed) May send a study via multiple associations May send more than one study on an association Storage DICOM does NOT define an “one size fits all” image
Digital Modality C-STORE-RQ … - C-STORE-RQ Command - Image Header Data (i.e. Name, ID, Row, Col..) - Pixel Data C-STORE-RSP… • C-STORE-RSP Command (Status) Shared Archive Storage Transfer – Push Images Storage SCU Storage SCP Multiple transfers usually occur on the same association Modified Slide fromDon Van Syckle
Typically used by workstations for remote access and image retrieval from archives Simple queries such as - “give me the patient name and ID for studies performed today” Simple retrievals such as -“give me images for Study XYZ Based on information models Patient model, Study model and Patient/Study only Query/Retrieve Enables the “pulling” of images Modified Slide fromDon Van Syckle
“Echo” to verify application level communication between two DICOM products Often used for service diagnostics to determine if another product is on-line or off-line Products who accept DICOM associations are required to support Verification as an SCP Digital Modality Shared Archive Verification C-ECHO-RQ (no data set) C-ECHO-RSP (success status) Verification SCU Modified Slide fromDon Van Syckle Verification SCP
